FYI as recovering mechanic . The rates are the book rate or whatever it takes Bill the longest . If you come to me and want a custom exhaust I am going to charge you what it take to make that exhaust. Your car off the showroom floor is the Joomla std package. Any options will be billed extra and just like you car I will have to read the instructions and figure out how to install the roof rack. Figuring stuff out is part of your job and in any other trade you get paid for your time so why should working with Joomla be any different ? When you come to me and say I want a 3 " exhaust with this carb and that cam etc I will charge you time and materials as I don't know all the implications. After all a doctor gets paid for diagnosis , so should we !!! Consider yourself architects and you are creating the master blueprints Even is the house does not get built you should get paid for your time.
snip Auto mechanics have a book that says how many hours to charge for each job. Is there a similar thing for Joomla tasks so I can price work I don't yet know how to do without making the customer pay for my direct education Oz _______________________________________________ New York PHP SIG: Joomla!
