of the text layout and format on my site which cost nearly $4000
and am stuck with it. actually there are code problems with too but
I can get by for now just want to make appearance changes.

I had reached the end of what I could pay and said just finish it
quickly and this is it it appears. The site was supposed to be $1800
to $2500. I was OK at the time with it as was I just relived to stop
the per hour charges. I think I will just move on to a graphic type
web design person to make it look better. Too worried I will mess it
as it does work more or less and I have a few members now. Next time
if ever it will be developer get paid when its done and approved not
per hour rate. Live and learn I guess.

I do not know of any developers who will do continuous updates and
"feature creep" forever without you paying a fee for the service. This
would be akin to you buying a new car at a set price, then getting new
tires and periodic service for free during the life of the car.

One of my clients sends me articles/images/changes/whatever nearly every
week and pays me $NN per hour to do it.

I would never do a "set fee" website, because there is *always* ongoing
maintenance. If you could actually find a new developer willing to work
for free, please post their details so others can take advantage of it.
