Dodo,
You can guarantee I will purchase from you. However, it is a big amount of money coming from my wallet, and I will pay as much as you think you deserve. But I want the design to be absolutely perfect. The particular design you are making for me looks very nice, but not exactly how I have envisioned. I am sorry I did not tell you until after you created it. I hope you understand that I will be very picky about different things. I am serious about this entire project and I know you are too..
The design you created for me is how I was hoping, but over the course of the last few hours, I have surfed other sites and found some other designs and ideas that I like. If we could start from scratch with the design, I would very grateful.
Please reply and tell me what you think.
-Joanna

I’m sorry to tell you that I’ve had very bad experience from previous projects. I could never satisfy my client because they constantly change on me. I did all those work without even earning a penny. I did four layouts for them, nothing seems to fit, until i figured i’m the stupid one who’s doing free work for nothing. So I will not do any more designs for you from scratch unless you will pay for the work I start with which means I will start working on a new project when I receive half of what you promised to pay for the entire project.
So if you want to forget about the last project, it IS possible for us to start a new project. But not the same way I did the last time.
We will follow these steps
First tell me what you want
- i need to know the exact color, font for the title
- photographs on the design (better if you provide, if not, i need a detailed description of what the photograph will be like)
- examples of other graphics
- background color
- how big should the title image be
I will think about the requirements and tell you whether I can handle it and give you a price, I think it should be around $40 like before.
Then we can start the project and that means NO MORE change on main theme of the design and I will need to receive the first half of payment to get started.
I will do minor modifications to fit your need for the final design. You can pay me the other half before the final design is sent to you.
That’s all. Other than that, I don’t think I want to take the job.
what else, take a look at this!
fixing board
October 12th, 2001
i suppose to do my cs project right now.. but i started doing the member status thing on my board and i didn’t want to let it go.. so you can see the member status for each post now.. i made those pixels, aren’t they cute? i also added the pinned pixel for the topped topics. what else? i want to work more *hehe* give me ideas.
i was frustrated earlier coz the person who request the layout doesn’t seem like wanting to buy it any more even tho she’s ok with the main design??! she just needs the font of the title to be changed and know where navigations will be. i told her i can fix those easily but i need to know whether she wants to buy the graphic first before i do anything more. that’s not much to ask right? i mean, how do i know whether she’s serious of buying or not without receiving the check first? it’s not like i haven’t been ripped off by people online before. oh well, i will use it for myself if i don’t hear from her in a week.
anyway, heads to *cs project* :P
