You're going to feel pain on this deal. You're being too cushy and accomidating for someone who shouldn't be worth this much. You aren't a fucking Best Buy geek squad tech by day, don't act like one.

Have a meeting, create an outline, then give it to a webmonkey and/or coder to implement.

Someone wants something very simple as a one-off - I might spec it for $20 for a half an hour job, just so I get more word of mouth. It's worked pretty well, and I feel good for helping out people who just need a little assistance.

Someone who has money? Time to sit down and discuss what their needs are, and design it before implementing - you owe this to them, and to yourself, if you plan on the deal not going sour or having to be discarded, and reimplemented.

That's worth at least three hours right there (if you're competent and knowledgeable about all of the technologies you plan to utilize for the project)..
