I'd like to explore the possibility of offering design and drafting services on a sliding scale as well. This seems like a natural thing to considering many of us have heard or even said ourselves, "everyone deserves good design". But in fact, most design professionals offer such services at inflated rates, and I believe a good percentage of people might never consider hiring a designer, architect, interior designer or landscape architect because of this fact.&lt;br style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; line-height: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; line-height: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /&gt;So what do you think, can this concept work and still turn a profit?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5549617859270867224-1755373387355786061?l=dldesignlab.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dldesignlab.blogspot.com/feeds/1755373387355786061/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dldesignlab.blogspot.com/2010/02/design-services-on-sliding-scale.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5549617859270867224/posts/default/1755373387355786061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5549617859270867224/posts/default/1755373387355786061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dldesignlab.blogspot.com/2010/02/design-services-on-sliding-scale.html' title='Design Services on a Sliding Scale?'/><author><name>Dustin L.
