As the designer, *you* know more than the typical client would about what it would cost and how long it would take. Don't mistake fear for the client just having NO IDEA how long it will take or what it would/should cost.
When talking to a client I already know that just by talking to them they are willing to spend X amount of dollars for a project.
They keep that X amount dollars unknown when in all actuality they oughtah be upfront about it. Declaring a budget attracts business by nature.

The typical client knows what they are willing to spend and generally nothing else matters except the time for which it takes from start to finish.

If they bid to low the business would get alot more info about why there bid is to low plus I can not imagine many designers not willing to make a post stating the reasons why a price might be to low or why they might under bid the stated price if its a cake walk.


Thus why I didnt really answer ya questions bro

Also...
Assuming that the designer knows more than the client during discussions is usually takin with insult.
Assume that a designers knowledge no better than a business's knowledge its just not condusive to respect no matter how ya look at it.

Generally its not my job to educate a business and if it is I charge accordingly for that as well and outright say so.
