[LRUG] Freelancer holiday cover partnership

[Jonathon Horsman]

Hi all

I expect there must be a few freelance developers out there who have
clients requiring ongoing cover. What cover do you provide your clients
when you go away on holiday?

Typically I take my laptop with me, but given that I'm going to be up a
mountain I will lack the connectivity and motivation to answer support
queries.

Would any LRUG members be willing to form an informal support partnership
where they would receive support queries and invoice at a pre-agreed rate
for a set time?

This is really for client piece of mind, as I've never had anything require
immediate attention in the times I've been away.

Likewise when pitching to some clients for new build projects they are
concerned about cover when dealing with an individual freelancer. More than
once I've been asked the 'hit by a bus' question and don't have a suitable
answer. So I see this partnership covering new development projects too.

Does this resonate with anyone?

Cheers
