Had to choose between a flat fee and an hourly rate for a tricky client contract
A client in Austin wanted a full website but kept changing the scope. I had to pick between a $2,500 flat project fee or billing $75 an hour. I went with the flat fee to make it simple, but it backfired because they asked for way more work after we signed. I ended up doing about 15 extra hours I couldn't bill for. Has anyone else had a flat fee deal go sideways like this?

Classic case of scope creep.

Ever seen a project that just never ends? It starts small and then they keep adding stuff until it's a mess. That's how good ideas die.
