Thanks In addition to what has been mentioned above, (and perhaps to reiterate) good to know who is/was involved with client prior to you. Does client have username / passwords for "their" own web site? If they arent designing it themselves then ther eis a good chance that they .. well, maybe YOU, will have to retrieve these details somehow from their previous web service provider. That can be a bit daunting or delaying, depending on the situation. Sure, its just as easy to reinvent the wheel and redesign however that bodes ill when all you are being paid for is updates to an existing site. Hmmm. Very enriching article. Thanks

So i would advise that young designers who maybe are going to meet a prospect/client for the first time should take their time, don't think about it for too long and be confident with yourself. to some people its shyness.. which can actually disgrace the fellow in front of the prospect.

Vendors thinking we’re stupids, or trying to look like they’re more intelligent, these things drives me crazy! These are nice tips we all should follow! Best regards!

It's so very easy to make wrong assumptions about this ... and then expectations can go very awry. Many thanks for the useful article ....
