Why?

Because the fees do not even begin to cover the actual costs of the labor, time expended and any materials required for the respective tasks listed above.
We've made a commitment to not be part of the starving artist's zoo and the best way to become a starving artist and put oneself out of business is not to be fairly compensated for any and all time/materials/labor involved in a project.
We will refund these fees if you can give us back the hours of our lives used to execute the task.
And if you can do #3, we definitely have to meet and lunch is on us.
