How about charging a fee that one is comfortable with, so that one still profits even if the customer decides to leave? My web hosting customers can choose to get up and leave any time and seek a pro-rated refund (if applicable). If someone wants to sign up for a month and then leave, well, that's one extra customer I had during that month (a good thing). Whether we're talking a page builder or web hosting or blogware or whatever isn't so important I don't think. Alternatively, the reseller could contract the customer for a year at sign-up. Then the issue of profit is cemented contractually, not by shady trickerly. >Portability came up time and time again. I humbly propose that the Page Builder developers consider another implication of the word "portability": the quality of working in a vast range of environments. A web site which requires client-side scripting in order to render anywhere close to properly is not portable. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
