we tried this some time ago for RoR prototypes(also price was lower about 5k as far as i remember).
it didnt end up well. we had to make few refunds as clients had to much expectations and no clue about software development. we tried to manage their expectations, but thats very hard when you deal with someone who has 0 exp in software development and operates phrases like "i need twitter script so that i can copy it to my server"
most wanted was twitter/digg/facebook clone(or as many call it 'script') + some unique features build for peanuts within 2 days
- vgurgov 15y agoalso good luck getting your second 50% and convincing someone who has no clue about sw development that it contains all features you agreed on, and no you cant change this font color very last time.
- phpnode 15y agoThis is a problem with being freelancers/contractors generally, especially when dealing with non technical people. We're hoping we can weed those kind of customers out early at the contact stage.
- vgurgov 15y agoi agree. but this problem especially matters when you start offering complex things such as sw development as a simple package that anyone with plain idea can get. i seriously wish you good luck with this project though. let us know what was your experience with this promo.
