Warning: I quoted a client $400 for a side logo job, then saw their real budget was $4,000
I was in my kitchen in Denver at 11pm last Tuesday, almost hitting send on that $400 quote for a small business logo when I noticed their site listed a 12 person team and a downtown office address, so I deleted it, went back in at $1,800, and they said yes the same morning, which taught me to check who I'm actually talking to before I price anything (now I want to know how you all figure out a client's real budget without just asking them straight out).
