I did a site for someone a while ago, and for some reason they decided I
charged too much, or I wasn't available enough, or it was a cloudy day, who
knows? Anyway, they had a friend armed with Dreamweaver and a cheap price
(free), redo the site.

The new site's pages are all done in plain transitional HTML (with
validation errors, of course), my pages were done in PHP (all valid HTML
Strict).

When searching in Google for Nick Mendoza, the first site is mine, and the
sixth result is Mendoza Gomez & Associates - MG&A Team (team.php). It
returns a 404 - because it's the old page _I_ did. I gave up looking for
the new site at page 10 (with 50 results per page) - nothing, it's indexed,
but who knows where.

To make a long story short, the client called me tonight and wants me to
"fix" it. I _love_ my life!

Why of course ?
I use transitional HTML and I don't have validation errors.

Sure, it is not a necessary connection and you are the proof that
it is not. But generally, to make a site from scratch today with
transitional either suggests a lack of experience or confidence
or a special rare good reason.

I'd tell them to bugger off - in as polite a way as possible, of course.
If they didn't have confidence in your ability the first time round,
despite you being more than able, and they had the nerve to insult your
work, what makes them think you'd want to work with them again?

Charge em double for the effort - "my living costs have gone up" and
"if you want it fixing in the next x weeks then you're going to have
to pay for priority"

Personally I think both sites are bland and boring. and in both cases
free is even too much to pay for them.
