Just realized I was wrong about charging by the hour for my web design work

I switched to fixed project rates after a client in Tampa argued for 3 hours about a 15-minute logo tweak last month, so how do you handle scope creep without burning a whole day?

My past self was a total doormat who would have done that logo tweak for free AND apologized for it. Fixed rates are the only way to save your sanity. A detailed contract that lists what ISN'T included has been my best friend for shutting down those "quick little changes" before they start. You have to build a wall against that stuff or they'll take your whole week.
