Ahhh - the great feeling of having learned from my mistakes!
You might remember me mentioning the project from the pit - the one that went from a tidy little sum into something else entirely because I never took into account the client's desire to meet... in person... multiple times.
All tuition in the school of freelancing, right?
And one reason I shy away from working with local clients most of the time.
But I've just landed another nice local gig, and had to draw up the project proposal today. In it, I included a nice little clause about how most of our business could be taken care of over the phone and via email, but that if they required an on-site consultation, they'd be charged my hourly fee for that time.
We'll see how it flies!
How about you? What have you learned the hard way, and then done better the next time?

Thinking of designing your own website?
Try www.esolz.net , a professional company which I came across while developing my website. Although I was skeptical about outsourcing my project to an offshore company, my mind was put at rest upon reviewing their proposal. It was clear that www.esolz.net is a team made up of solid web designers who provide quality, value, and support. From day one they consulted with me and involved me in every aspect of the site development.
They completed the project within the agreed 30 days and have exercised extreme diligence in maintaining the website since then.
Check out my website at www.ventureden.com
