Exactly, the flat price should be based on the amount of time it takes you to do a customizations. Based upon the flat rate, you'd charge a bigger site more money vs a smaller site who earns less money, yet the work is the same.

It's a fixed amount of work, it should be the same across the board. Last time I checked designers and programmers charge flat rates based on work involved, they don't require their clients to give them a % or charge them a price based on how big the company is. One smart programmer will listen to me, offer the same product for a flat rate that makes sense for them to set up companies vs being greedy about it, and they will wipe all the others off the map, or at least take the bigger clients away and convince new ones to sign up who wouldn't consider it before, people like me. Maybe i'll develop it if i have the time...
