A couple of questions about clients

[Kay]

hi

I'm new to these forums and relatively new to flash but not webdesigning. When you create a website for a client do you use your own webspace? or do you use a third party to sign them up for thier own space? And would anyone know how to go about in creating an infrasturce of payment online, shipment and delivery?

I am only in a first year unversity of an IT program and I just mentioned this to a friend and he recomended me to a guy who owns a small buisness. This guy wants to go online yet knows nothing about computers. He is offering me 1500 cdn for this entire project. It's a great opportunity to get my foot in the door... but i think this may be over my head. The guy is giving me two weeks to decide wether or not to take this on. Guidance from any proffesionals would be greatly appreciated. I do not want to let this opportunity pass by =)

When I create sites for clients, I use my own webspace.

when the site is complete, I get the FTP info from the client (for HIS ftp), then just transfer and change paths and such...

Build it on your own computer and webspace, then you put them up on their own server with their own .com name, or whatever the case may be.

That's how I work it.

I pay for webspace, it has unlimted domain add ons - so I just charge the client a fee for his hosting his / her site if they dont already have their own looked after.

another thing one could do is install IIS on your own pc, and then run local testing servers on the sites you do, that is also a thing I do, I then upload it to my own site to show to my client.
