While not all clients are bad here some basic rules for Web designers to protect himself from Bad Clients.<\/h3>\n

Web designer<\/a> should always protect yourself in the following ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Always get 50% upfront<\/li>\n
  2. Make the client sign a contract that states specific dates and deliverables for her as well as for you<\/li>\n
  3. Send the client wireframes before<\/strong> doing a mockup<\/li>\n
  4. Have the client send you examples of websites they like, detailing exactly what they like<\/li>\n
  5. Have them do the same for websites they don’t like<\/li>\n
  6. Get any branding guidelines up front<\/li>\n
  7. Create 3 web design<\/a> mockups for them to choose from based on the info gathered from 3-6<\/li>\n
  8. Once the client has agreed to a design, make them sign another contract<\/strong> stating they have agreed to the exact design and will pay a set hourly rate if they sway from that design<\/li>\n
  9. Keep all the files on your own proof server NOT THEIRS<\/strong><\/li>\n
  10. Do not put the files up on their server<\/strong> until they’ve paid you the remaining 50 %<\/strong> of what they owe you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
