Business Ethics 101

Id put it to them like this,

"Here is what I can do for you, and this is what it will cost you." I think given the chance, most companies would rather go in house when it comes to site matters if they have someone who can fill thier needs, unless they realy want to pay top dollar for a "Shirt and tie designer" who knows little or nothing about the product in question.... and would only be more of a liablility in that this person would take up alot of the owners "ME" time, by asking a ton of questions. and the end result is likely to be not really what they are looking for but they go with it cause it "Looks nice"

just my thoughts anyhow
