>Once you got yourself up and running, do you find that your business is fairly consistent or does it come in spurts or is it seasonal?
You know how it is. When you are on a contract, you receive tons of calls for other contracts. Once the contrat is finished, it gets down.
>What type of businesses do you find contracting you? The reason I ask is, I was considering the cost of a custom devoloped app in VFP, assuming an hourly rate it would be reasonable to assume that an app would cost US $7000-$10,000. I can't imagine a small business paying this much for an app. Or is this estimate way off?
This is now a mininum price for an app. At least in Montreal, this is what it is. Just imagine is the consulting is working on site for at least one month, this is what at least he'll have for that period.
