Pretty perspective post. Never thought that it was this trouble-free after all. I have spent a great deal of my time searching for someone to explain this topic clearly and you’re the only one that ever did that. Thanks a lot! Keep it up!

Great site, a lot of solid information there! Would it be okay with you if I created a similar column on my website? I am creating a blog about this topic. I would give you the credits and the source which I found this article at. Let me know!

as there are so many variables on both sides of the fence [clients and web designer/developer firms] it can be a delicate issue… as John said, some clients may expect "everything" to be done for them, without defining exactly what that involves, and also without paying for the time required for the designers/developers to do it…

I think your article is great, and poses some important questions that all organisations [not just small businesses] should consider before meeting with a web designer/developer.

I believe its best to be open and honest about requirements, expectations, and even budget, to get the best recommendations about what is possible, and eventually, the best results from a new website. It's all about partnership.

You can probably tell what side of the fence I'm on…

cheers, Erica.

Hi John, thanks for the feedback. The reasoning for the heading is that I was a client of leading web design companies in Sydney and had some very bad experiences - that is why I created this article.

It is true in some cases that customers also don't want to know - until the end when it's too late. At least this way, both sides can be prepared!

Thanks again
A

I disagree with the heading...

Its not that web companies don't want to tell the customer, its that the customer doesn't want to know...(nor pay for being told)

But maybe thats just your marketing tripe...

Good article anyway Keep up the good work...
