omg this is giving those 2008 rainmeter themes i would download.. i love the layout
if you don't do it based on hours then you're still doing it based on hours, just pretending to ignore it! so if you sel;l layouts for $25 and they usually take 3 hours, you are working at below minimum wage, whether you like it or not. just because you ignore the hour amount, doesn't mean you're not spending those hours on it. btw this doesn't mean "charge client per hour," it just means to estimate beforehand.
i cant speak on whether or not that would be weird but i think (at least from personal experience) that your name would be read as lastname lastname. at my college at least when someone puts a preferred name (it can literally be anything), it will appear as that one not the legal one (ex: if a guy named joseph puts his preferred name as jo his id/name in the system would be jo) if this makes sense. or is even helpful
no idea but when i use my last name as a given name i dont give them. the last name. so its last name. no lastname. but its super unnoficial and shit. anyways.
