Hey DNUG,

Now that I have graduated I was thinking of doing some freelance web design on the side for some passive income. I was wondering if any of you had any experience/advice on how to do a pricing model (i.e. what works/doesn't work, if you host or they host, etc). Any input would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Jordan Morgan

My advice would be to clearly communicate the warranty and support costs, hours of operations and such upfront.  If possible have them sign an contract/agreement upfront that states that they agree to it.

Especially if you have a "real job" and this is truly passive as you say.
Been burned in the past by not communicating (for example) what my hours of operations were, and the customers expectations were something akin to "beckon call".
Made them unhappy when I didn't leave work to go and fix a "browser compatibility" issue with a concept site and they told all of their friends. 

Could have helped greatly if I merely communicated the situation to begin with.
