The disadvantage is that you do not want to be beaten with a bill with a large lot of questionable spending at the end of work.
Solution: develop a payment plan with your project early. The best designers will a date, an overall deadline for completion and an hourly rate for work beyond what is in the estimate.
Going with a package Deal – Packages can be real lifesaver when you're low on time and just want "something" online to show your potential buyers. By a fixed price, you can get anything from a basic site with a shopping cart for the continued support and training.
