If I were the client - both are more valuable :)

thanks for the reply. on one hand what you are saying make sense.. too much distractions will make my other clients suffer and to me lose some money on the way.. on the other hand - I personally would not go to a freelance guy who only answers my emails 3 times a day.. what if i have an emergency ? (and yes,that is very subjective, i know).

I would prefer to receive fast email replies with a lot of value, rather than an automated response which would make me think i am using the services of a large bureaucratized corporation that treats me like a small fish..

thanks for your reply. I liked the idea of a "Administration & maintenance" fee, and it sounds very reasonable to charge for a few hours of "emails & phones" stuff.. thanks 1. Do you charge the normal rate for that or a discounted rate? 2. Do you not accept clients who do not accept this type of monthly fee ? in other words - how important is this to you ?

from the ask-hn dept.

I know this question has been asked and answered many times, but I think new answers can bring value me as well as to others here..Answering for emails is destructive in terms of context switching - You are working for client A and then suddenly an email comes from client B, which totally wastes time due to context switching etc, So even if the answer to the email takes 30 secs, it's still...

I cannot imagine someone on a dev meetup saying "we ended up choosing knockoutjs and backbone over angular because their models were more visually appealing than angular's city model" .. this is what I mean when I ask "what do I get out of this?"
