Three days may be stretching it. Even having a template for a website without a back-end made a while back, I ended up sending over 70 emails discussing details. What will you do if you produce something that the customer finds not quite right?
I love the idea, but just a warning on the time frames.
- tptacek 15y agoYou really think it's a good idea for him to do a 99designs-style Rails prototyping service? "Working version of screenshot for under $3000"?
- Shenglong 15y agoI might not use it, but I'm sure someone would... especially all those people who can't find technical cofounders, and want to start something really badly. I haven't really thought that hard about market viability, so you may be right.
- tptacek 15y agoThere are people that will use the service, but his pricing has ensured that those people will tend to be among the most pathological customers.
- Shenglong 15y ago$1,000 for website with back-end code isn't that bad is it? If I somehow had assurance of the quality, didn't have a technical friend in mind, and couldn't do it myself, I'd probably heavily consider it as a solution. I say this because I do have a project in mind (but taken care of). I feel this spiraling back into the technical co-founder discussion.
- tptacek 15y agoIt's far too cheap.
- ayers 15y agoI would also suggest that a set time frame of 3 days will not fit every project and could be a cause for pain when you can not deliver said project on time. You might want to have some sort of range of times/prices depending on how hard/big the scope of the project will be.
