lol haven't been visiting istorya.net for a while and *wham* here i am reading posts regarding some guys charging clients asking access to their CMS...

what a rip off...

custom CMS jud siguro na bro. if dili mag Joomla or something. at least give the programmer something for the effort in creating a CMS. diba?

no dapat included nana sa inyo proposed budget, kung customized dapat added nana sa pag quote sa budget for the site.

i have new clients now nangreklamo why pabayaran ang CMS, d ask kung lahi ba sab payment magpahimu ug mu access sa ila CMS. wr supposed to provide solutions dba?

yeah, i always include CMS on my project quotation, if mag request sila. but if the project is finished, and they would request for a CMS later, then, that is already a project extension.

let's admit it CMS de-loads us of heavy loads (coding).. in fact, i'll be using joomla for two of my clients right now..and ive even explained it to them the pro's and con's.. and yes, it's very cost effective for them!...

with these cms stuffs, now im just charging them a monthly maintenance feee..but that of course if they want my help in maintaining their stuffs online...

giving the credit to the owner of that CMS is something... but.. if you're a developer or something to that effect.. you SHOULD explain it to your client the pro's and con's about using open source CMS as compared to using your OWN custom made CMS...

unless that is your only core business model then you can just shut up.. and let them pay the price..

nindot man gyud cms kay sayon ra kaau i update imo sites. heck, i even know some designers/developers that charge extra if their clients want access to the cms (and they get a little tutorial sad gamay).

maybe the issue of charging start here. lets make it clear if charging here is after the project is deployed or finish. ahehehe my understanding here is during the proposal period. So theres no reason y i dont want get paid higher than the normal site, plus it was mentioned here the tutorial.

yeah, give them open-source, until they decide to have something different.
