Hi!
I am looking for a Dreamweaver extension where I can use a timer to indicate how long I am working on a client project. I have multiple clients I work on every day and charge accourding to a time rate.

Thanks for help in advance.

The issue there is when you're working on a site project, you're probably
not just working in DW. You're probably going to be working in a bitmap
editor, possibly a vector editor, maybe Flash, possibly a 3rd party CSS
editor, using various browsers for testing, etc, etc. So you need something
to track time in your entire project, not just DW.

I've found the VAKCER Project Tracker to work quite well. It can hook into
many applications (over 900 different apps) and you can set hourly rates
(you can create independent billing rates for each application), you can
create presets for project types, you can add custom activities, etc. It's
geared towards those in the graphics industry. The app can be found at
http://www.vakcer.com/ and can download a demo to see if it works for you.
If you do buy it, it's only $40, so it's not an expensive item... and no, I
do not work for the company nor do I get any kickbacks :) I just like the
program.
