Good question Andy. It all depends on the relationship you have with the client. For instance, If I maintain the site ongoing, I might keep the forms attached to my personal account and just chalk it up as a free service I offer to my client. If the client wants to move on to someone else, I notify them of the cost for the form/database service and allow them to purchase the subscribtion on their own. For larger clients with budgets, they'll purchase the subscription on their own and I'll maintain it. Basically, it's like a domain name. I never wan to purchase the domain name for someone if I can help it. I always want the business owner to purchase domain name and hosting with their corp credit card, and just provide me with login details to maintain the services for them.

HI
I'm in Scotland, but that's irrelevant. What I wondered was how you went about billing clients for the forms if you have to subscribe on a monthly basis for the form service by whichever company you are using? A basic query but I thoght I'd ask.
Following your YouTube stuff. All very good!!
Cheers
Andy

Thanks Julie, glad you found the video useful. Relevant Tools has done wonders for me. But I've heard good things about Emailmeform.com as well.

Thanks, this is relevant since I broke my contact form and my project manager consultant is always looking for new tools to implement. He fixed it but we are rethinking much of the look of things so we may rethink this too.
