I have always charged for mockups and data modeling. The element for client happiness with me is to have an actual deliverable that they can see and touch, and a report on the approach. It is saleable because if properly done could be used by others as a roadmap. It is also great for teasing out hidden information paths among the users.

This can be an exciting time! I like doing mock ups if I feel like I've got a shot at the job! However, after the last mockup--which was extensive--I wondered if I should affix a price to that, similar to how a builder does for house plans. What's the ProFox community's consensus on that--charging for mockups/prototypes? tia, --Michael _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
