Your original post certainly seems a bit more justified after hearing the full story. I solve this problem very easily by doing absolutely 0 web work for any friends. No discussion.

I have, several times. Although, he still expects me to. This time I tried to justify my answer, show him that design and development does take time and does cost money.

That clarifies a lot more Scott. Sorry for being tough on you.
Just say "no", then ask him what part of "no" doesn't he understand? when he asks you next.
While you're at it Scott, can you make me a website for a local car dealer, with a cms for him, and can you make it for me for free?

Anything for you Julian! I assume you just want an advanced PHP & mySQL driven CMS, better than anything currently available commercially? Just let me pull an extra 30 hours out of my buttocks :P

Meh, me too. You code me Template lolololol
nah, just kidding. I know what you feel, my mates often ask me to create a tamplate or something like that for them, or teach them the first steps in webdesign, but they think creating a template is like, w00ps, three seconds work, and most drop of when they se they'll actually need to do an effort for it
