# I already offered
they said no


spent a few grand on a little landing page for an e-mail campaign.. I said I`d do it for half the price next time

they said no

ergo: expensive must be good

# Christ! Talk about throwing money away...
You could knock up a batch command for Fireworks, in a couple minutes, to do the job (I'd say Photoshop, but it's a bit 'spensive).

# totally agree
but after a year of explaining how they`re being ripped off, I`m fed up wasting me breath

I threw together a little Flash thing in under 5 mins to show how easy some of the stuff they pay for is to do; and it`s literally just static pages with a bit of Flash - we have to re-code them with server markup to make them do useful stuff
