10 Reasons to Politely Decline a Web Gig
When you’re in that first round of meetings with a potential web design or web development client, there are certain statements, revelations or bits of information that serve as huge red flags.
Here’s a list (submitted by a designer friend who shall remain anonymous) of the biggest all-time deal-breakers:
10. He can’t stop telling you about how horrid his last developer was.
9. He wants to make sure you can build his site so it will show up first on Google.
8. He’s already got a list together of 100 words for his meta tags.
7. There isn’t much money for this job but it could really lead to a lot more work down the road.
6. He wants to know if you are flexible about your deposit.
5. He explains that you will be responsible to his organization’s “website committee.”
4. He wants to know if you know how to “do Flash.”
3. He wants his start-up site to be “kinda like eBay.”
2. He could actually build the site himself but he just doesn’t have the time.
1. He’s looking for a new “webmaster.”
