When you have to give a quote in advance, you always forget some factors which increase the final price. I think only experience can help you to be more accurate next time. That’s true.

A big business like corporate or franchising will have different setup fee. At least, they don't ask pay per job. This kind of pricing is for self-employed business, not for big business.

To be able to COUNT on a certain revenue stream each month is so valuable, I think more people should consider pricing that way. Even web designers, a monthly "maintenance package" would be a great way to keep money coming in each month. Even if they allocate 5 hours or less.
