Ask HN: Developers: Have you considered productizing your services?

[saq7]

I have been considering doing this and offering some of my web dev services as fixed cost, fixed scope productized services. $x for y service.

Have you tried doing this? What success/failures you have encountered along the way? What roadblocks have you encountered?

Scope is never fixed, especially with clients who paid a fixed price. Even simple brochure websites can suffer scope creep.
