Client: Can you build a Webshop and make it SEO,SEM and advertising-friendly?
Me: I COULD TRY. Whats your budget?
Client: Up to 400€
At this point I slowly faded away.

Moronic clients thinking everything's for free

same here client wanted a Magento website with tons of custom design and custom dev work:
His budget : £20k
Our Estimation £120k

Increasing your opacity, that's a good way to do it

And I'm here building this SEO friendly e-commerce website for a friend... For free...

if you work without getting payed, make sure your learn something from it. otherwise you're doing it wrong.
Eg, if a freind wants a favour, tell them you'll do it in a language you want to learn or in a framewrok you want to learn, because learning things always goes easier on real projects than on hello world/dummy projects.

@DarkMukke yeah that's exactly why I'm doing it for free. My first e-commerce while learning Laravel, so I kinda felt bad making him pay for a potentially working product...

@tisaconundrum my opacity was at 2 at this moment :D

How much would you charge for an out of the box webshop installation? If Magneto fullfills those requests and takes <4 hrs to set up it could be enough :)

@jiraTicket dont use magento, i work for a magento agency, if it doesnt need custom dev, go got shopify or what not
