Hourly Vs. Flat Rate: Pros and Cons
Jun 10th 2010 by
In this post, I will discuss my experience regarding the pros and cons of hourly and flat rates. If you are still in the starting stages of your freelance career, and trying to decide what you are worth and what to charge, then check out my articles, 12 Tips on Pricing your Web Work and Tools to Help you Estimate Price for your Web Work. In this article, I will go to the next step and see which is better, charging a flat rate or hourly, and why the one you choose might depend on the particular project, your work style, and or client. Therefore, I have come up with some elements to consider when trying to decide whether to charge hourly or a flat rate; so you, as the web developer or designer, can once again be confident when you name your price whether it be a flat rate or hourly, and the client can be sure about what they are getting for the price. Feel free to add some additional tips, and please comment! I hope you find this advice useful!

HTML5 and CSS3 are really revolutionizing the worlds of web development and web design, because they are bringing so many new features to work with to the fields. I have been spending much of my time working with both HTML5 and CSS3 in order to learn more about the two, and have learned that you can do everything from animation to rounded corners to amazing effects and fonts to easy offline line capabilities. In this post, I tried to collect some great tools that can help you to master these new features of both HTML5 and CSS3, by putting together an ultimate list of tools. Even though many of these features are not fully supported yet, as web developers and designers we should always be thinking about the future! I hope you find these tools helpful! Enjoy!

We have been lucky to get some pretty interesting people for these interviews, and I have a few interviews set for the next few weeks, but I am still requesting designers and developers to nominate colleagues in the field, or themselves! 
Please contact me if you are interested at hlamarche[at]admixweb[dot]com. This week we have our first Argentinian Graphic/Web Designer, who happens to be a friend of ours here Admix Web, Franco Averta. Franco works as a graphic/web designer by day, student by night, and runs Concept Dezain blog in his free time! I hope you like the interview! Enjoy!
Experiment: Realistic Ipod with CSS3
May 27th 2010 by
For today’s post, I got inspired by Ahmed El Gabri and his article CSS3 Gradients Coffee cup. I figured if you could make a coffee cup, you could make just about anything with CSS3! For example, today I created a realistic Ipod just with CSS3 and no images at all.
First of all, I recommend to do this with canvas; I just used CSS3 in order to better understand the gradient property in Safari and Chrome (webkit) and have some fun during the process of learning .
Second of all, if you are going to check it out and want to get the full effect, I recommend Firefox, Safari or Chrome because they really support the gradients.
Lastly, feel free to read some of my other CSS3 tutorials to get a back ground on how it works!
