pepsby is on a distinguished road

  Old  a freelance "fast one"...

Hi all, a co-worker of mine has a lot of customers who want websites and he wants to know how much I charge to develop them. I told him my hourly price with a 5-hr minimum. He then asked me if I could just write the css for a template. Now at first he was going to send me all the webdesign/dev work. Now he only wants me to write 1 css template. I'm thinking he changed his mind & just wants me to create a template that he can re-use. Then he'll charge his clients for each site he builds using my css template. I get paid only once (he'll probably expect to be charged an hour or so to write 1 css template), but he gets paid every time he uses the template to build out sites himself. Pretty slick and profitable for him -- not so for me. Any advice on how I could handle this situation? Thanks
