Being a genius developer is one thing, being a great designer is another but without the proper process of managing a client, you may never get any work. What happens once the contract is signed? What expectations does your client have during the process? Too many times, development houses are too quick to get a contract (maybe) and get the start fee, but keep the client in the dark until you are finish, or so you think.
This session will show you what documentation is needed to make the developer/client relationship strong from the moment they tell you they have an idea until they are ready to redevelop their whole website three years later. We will focus on the proper documentation, client communication, and case studies to help with future projects.
