I'm a HTML / PHP Programmer, that until now has mainly done small sites for
local bands and small businesses. I was recently hired by a company to
design a "ten page site" that would require roughly 10 hours of work. It's
a pretty complicated PHP/MySql driven site. I bid $800 - $1000 for the
entire thing. Well, now the contact that I'm working with at the company
keeps sending me more stuff to do, and this ten page site is now approaching
30, and it's looking like it's going to be 50 - 60 pages by the time it's
done. Not to mention all the extra graphic design, scanning, etc... I
didn't sign a contract yet, although I have given them a copy of my contract
to go over before signing, but they haven't mentioned anything about extra
money, but I think the site has developed far beyond what was talked about
in our initial consultation. Has this happened to anyone before? Is this
common? How did you handle it? Thanks for any advice.
