What's fair compensation for css/html template?
Posted: Mon Jul 19, 2010 7:39 pm
Hi guys, new here, found this forum and thought it might be the right place to have my question answered
On the current site I'm contracting, the person I have doing the coding recently suggested that the css and html template be completely redone. From the beginning, we were working out of a cheap, bought template and just moddifying and adding as we went for the sake of moving things along. That, and I wasn't entirely sure how I was going to design the site initially and needed to speed things up to get the product out. It's bloated crap, sure.
So yadda yadda yadda, the programmer says he can't go any further without gutting the template and writing it from scratch. He already knows how it should look and behave from the current site as it stands today. Considering he will have to do zero designing, and has reference to work from (both the original and his own code he's added), what would be fair compensation for redoing this facet of the site?
Thanks in advance to any who can help. We were at each-others throats over this today.
