I’m in the planning phase of a joint venture in which most of my revenue will consist on a  sales percentage once the shop is up and running; why this kind of agreement aren’t more prevalent? I suppose they are perceived as risky. Better a web we cannot manage than share a fraction of its non-profits.

To the old-timer paying a commissions to salesmen should  be more than familiar; to the developer a percentage serves as motivation to keep things updated and justifies maintenance chores that sometimes are hard to bill.

So maybe some business should be looking for web developers willing to act as they sales representatives on the web and earn a mutual profit.

The web page for Hotel Mayari is simple, the content almost static. Most of the job was mediation, bypassing the limitations frequently found in spanish hosting companies, cooperation, and coercion of past service providers. Some of the troubleshooting included:

• Expiring domain names.
• Unknown hosting capabilities
• Missing database access.

Client had ideas on the looks of the final page, but for every intermediate step they needed constant reassurement. The facilitation done by Visualtis was 10% of technical nature, 30% of hand-holding and coaching, 30% of client and providers negotiation, and 30% of education.
