In 1994-1995 I used to charge $180 to put a "contact us" form on a website. It was a simple HTML form and Perl script. I could bang one out in about 30 minutes and I couldn't keep up with the work. Those were the days!
- codyguy 15y agowow! how did you get people to find you then? You wouldn't have been the only one.
- jnorthrop 15y agoI used to help a lot of new-to-html coders on usenet. A handful of them would recommend me or contract me for the more complicated stuff like shopping carts, contact forms and other data driven functions.
- leejw00t354 15y agoThis kind of thing still happens quite a bit now. I'm always hearing of cases where someone has made a few hundred pounds creating someone a website that's been copied and looks like it was originally designed in MS Word for a small business that wants to get an internet presence.
- mapster 15y agoI was making bumper stickers of people's email addresses in 1994. What a dumb idea, but demand was high, though in hindsight what I did was spammy in what was then listserve topics. Then I went onto make printable business cards for your newfound email address. It said 'Net Citizen' with a nice logo/graphics -during the templated printer paper craze.
