What are normal stages of doing a project for an indiviidaul
Hi
I just about to start my first freelance project, a client who needs someone to design his website front end, I applied, and he emailed me for asking what a day rate I am going to charge and a meeting of discusion will be needed. I am not in the smae city where he is, I am about 200 miles away. I wonder if we have agreed rate, how should we start the project, do I do design first or I need him to put deposit down first, what are normal stages when doing a project for an individual? Help please!
Thank you!

Dont design a thing until you have agreed a price. Also hourly rate could be a bit tricky; how can you prove to the guy you have spent lets say 15 hours non stop desgning stuff. ??Bluewater, post: 9563 a écrit : Hi

Also If you are front end designer and he is backend designer (ie you are doing the css and Xhtml or html ) are you going to present it to him as a live page? if so how can you know he wont just lift the code and images and ditch you?
be careful ;)

design process
Consultation with client
If there happy to go ahead get a deposit up front ( i always get 20% before designing so much as a button)
Design draft in jpg format and if they like it get more cash
design the css html content as template
let them play with it for a day or so
if their happy then its time to go full on ( i use my own web space for this section so that i still have some control over the actaul code and content - ie dynamic stuff)
the rest is up to you m8...
again be careful
