Hah hah, I've got a great counter strike here: As local bands usually
can pay for hosting, but not development, I've done 8 sites for "free"
for friend's bands ...

At the very least, everybody else has brought over beer or ordered a
pizza while working on it. And get this: the one that didn't pay me?
The site was up for about two days before she decided to do it over
herself. So I didn't even get the satisfaction of having people look at
my work.
