They want it delivered yesterday. They don\u2019t understand the costs of building a website. But that\u2019s normal since Google is free, so almost everything on the web should be free.<\/p>\n\n<p>But you can see that to give the customer a fairer price you need to provide a quicker service. <\/p>\n\n<p>Developers and designers on the other hand always want more time to finish the job. The planning always feels tight and what are they to do, deliver a mediocre product or service? That\u2019s anti-brand. No, no\u2026 gotta go fast, but top quality and innovation consistently.<\/p>\n\n<p>You got it. It\u2019s the perennial tug-of-war between price, time, and quality.
