Once a client gives me some specifics regarding their projects, I can estimate how much time it'll take, and I quote a fixed price based on that. In most cases my estimate is either spot on, or off by at most an hour.

The problem with offering a "lower price product" is that none of the clients want them, although it is possible that I simply haven't marketed it properly.



So they don't want a lower priced product, but they don't want the higher priced product either?

Confused now. :)

Is it the price or the outcome you're talking about here? I'm not talking about offering a "lower price product", I'm talking about offering your clients a little flexibility to suit their budget (while covering your own bases in terms of time spent on any project).

In any case, there's nothing to stop you from communicating that you're willing to discuss options on the quote if they're willing to make concessions wrt your time/revisions.

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding. Good luck all the same!
