I, being a student and all, don't have a lot of experience on how software developing companies bussiness works, but wouldn't a custom-developed piece of software (or in this case website) be specced, following by a contractual invoice (not the proper word, I don't know the proper english word: a specification of work that will be done, on what time terms and at a specific price) before a company starts developing? Ah, you will come to learn... there is how it should be done, and how it is done.In this case, we are not a development company as such. The big company is going to be reselling our existing stuff (just branded as them). Therefore our managements eyes lit up with flashing jackpot signs and bent over backwards (and forwards) to do anything to please the big company. We will not be billing them a penny for anything as insignificant as development. Wouldn't want to anger them, after all.Ironically I went through all of this with the same big company a few years back, before the firm I worked for got bought out by the people I now work for. This "huge" contract back then bought in pretty much feck all money. Certainly not enough to pay for the work that was done. You'd think the lesson would be learned...
