My business is not like that. I have three projects right now that could last into February. With six more pending for January, February, and March. It was my impression you needed that myspace layout done asap. Which meant I would have had to bump back work on my projects at the time with value well higher than a quick myspace design. You can knock me all you want, but it's not going to accomplish anything.

It's like if you bring your car to a shop. They might be able to get to when they can at their normal rate. Or you could pay them a higher rate to bump yourself up the line and get it worked on right away. As I said, I was under the impression you were the latter.

Since this seems to be a misunderstanding. I'll make it real simple. If you want a design for a normal hourly rate.

? We can schedule one for the future when I have no projects in place. It would have to be for sometime in February or March.

? We can schedule one for me to work on as soon as I can, with no real completion date (probably something like 2-4 weeks). Meaning, I will work on your design in between my already scheduled projects. I might have two hours this week with no work, eight hours, or zero hours. I'll work on yours and complete it, however the current projects I have get priority each day.

? Or you can hire someone else.


... I run my company very tight. I don't just accept job after job and "hope" to get it all done. The organization is very precise. It keeps work consistent and on time.
