I am a student, a lecturer at uni presented a client who offered me some work, initially very excited I worked with the lecturer to estimate costs and time.
I calculated it at 42 days of work, at the agreed rate of £100 a day me and my lecturer asked for £4200 for the project, he declined this saying £3000 was more reasonable, we accepted based on the fact that there was no deadline, I started the project 2 months ago and to date I have spent an average of 8 hrs a day for 5 days a week working on his project and I have hardly got any where, maybe 10% done.
There have been many unforeseen problems most of which are related to the site design being poor (its his design) and my inexperience and predicting work load.
I am basically ready to chuck it in I signed no contract and I need to have a break as the other 2 days a week I work 9 hrs at a retail store.
My question is, how do I present this to the client, email, telephone what ever I am really not sure how to explain that his design has caused a lot of complications and that my in experience has led me to massively under estimate the work required.
