Business advice.

February 21, 2003 12:46:18 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Hey, all.
I was contacted by a company to do some cursors for there new Linex Disto. I do freelance graphic art in my home town, and I was wondering how the big dogs would go about handling this for compensation. I've never done anything over the web before, so if anyone can give me any tips, I would be greatful. Please (email) me with a response. Thank you.

I'd email DangeRuss at Hoverdesk, and also Treetog and mirmigil from Pixtudio as they would have some good idea on what possible path youd might want to try. Also there are some good examples in some web development books, the pits falls to avoid, time lines, support issues, ect...

just a thought...

i think you should go for it... just make sure you get paid... and make sure all of the copyright stuff is taken care of for whatever you do... make sure you know who owns the rights to what you make, weather it is you, or them... just my input...

I suggest sending them screenshot of the final product. When you get paid, they get the cursors.

I only say this because my wife does a lot of work online, writing for a number of websites. Often, she has had to chase down the client for months on end to get payment. Sometimes, it just becomes a bad debt, never to be seen again.

In this case, "let the seller beware".
