[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 271622, member: 439"] husband does web design. He has done design free or discounted for several clients / friends. But it's always been him OFFERING to do it, not someone ASKING him to do it. He does our church (for free). He does the neighborhood portal site (for free). Both pay their own domain and server fees. He's done several luthier and music festival sights. Again - they pay domain and server fees. If the luthier begins to see a profit from the site, then he gets a fee. The festivals are usually ones we are involved with, so while he may get paid, it's usually less than what he would normally charge. He did get almost burned once. He had done a site for a music store for a friend for a very discounted fee. About a year afterwards, the friend decided he wanted to have someone else do it, and that designer wanted to have all of husband's code, included a customized search engine, a chord finder for instruments, etc. husband dumped all of it quickly to prevent that - and had many people ask where it all went. That was 5 years ago, and the shop still has a very poor site, but the owner is too embarrassed to come back to us and ask for help (he's now trying to do it himself). [/QUOTE]
