Now, the CPU vendor wants to release the economic version of this CPU ( Cpu-Version-2 ), which is a feature reduced version of Cpu-Version-1 (obviously for a lower price ). 90...

Someone has approached me to build a website for their small business. What is the protocol for laying out an offer for building a website in terms of pricing? Do I charge for number of pages? If they want advanced features (Flash, Ajax, etc.) is it just price per hour of development? What if I have no idea how long it will take? Are...
