[thelist] Client wants to update page content

[Andrew Maynes]

Excellent, I wanted to say something like this and glad someone else did.  This
is our industry, so we shouldn't sell ourselve out.  Does he give discounts or
free meals to people who come in and say 'oh I didn't budget for the whole meal'
I think not.

I am curious about situations such as this -- vis-a-vis 'no budget'.
Not being privy to the particulars of this situation, forgive me if I may
seem out of line, but this client is asking you to give him the capability
to change things -- through a wysiwyg page-based doo-hickey or training in
an editor -- for free.
    This is your livelihood, is it not? It is valuable, correct?
I understand things can not always be budgeted for, but there are other
things of value the client can offer (it's a restaurant, right?). Why not:
    For each hour of html 'training', you get one hour of cooking lessons?
    Providing a server-based solution to make updating pages easy, you get X
number of meals in the restaurant?
