That arranagement I think is a good idea to trying out a new vendor. @Steven, that could be an option, but many times, clients would like to know the whole project cost before hand for budgetting purpose.

After that milestone has been reached, a discussion about pricing for the rest of the project. This allows everyone involved to understand visually what X amount of dollars is worth.

But again, pricing is an art especially in the service industry, many times there is no one size fits all, depending on the situtation, depending on the size of the projects, and other factors, it forms the margin you can play with. The bottom line I think is probably back to common sense. For me, I would quote the same fee, because your rate is what’s been perceived of your worth.

Or charge them the same fee?

Nice article, thanks for sharing! It really describes the situation that design agencies are in. I guess its something very subjective that will keep changing as the company grows and its requirements change. And the situation is definitely harder and trickier for smaller firms as opposed to large agencies who can charge by the hour and not worry about business. Hey Herry!
