Ask Agaric: Learning While the Web Site is Made

Would agaric design consider taking on a job for web development (say, setting up a personal website) and doing the work alongside the client, teaching them along the way, for a higher fee than normal?

• Agaric Design would be happy to work alongside the client to teach how to configure and use the web site.  This is part of our normal practice, and would be charged the normal rate.
• We would also gladly work with a client on all portions of web development, from purchasing the domain name to editing the Cascading Style Sheets.  It's all part of the open source philosophy. This would also occur at our normal rate.
• You can go quite far with Drupal in 10 hours, in terms of configuring and adding functionality by installing modules, and changing settings, and categorizing and adding content.  The design part is different, but starting with a good base theme and a good idea of where you want to go can get you most of the way there from the start.

We think any more detail would need to be project-specific.  We hope this is clear though: if you're looking to learn while you get a website, contact us.
