		<description>This is a good start but for me this never quite works out the way it should, images come at different stages etc but this is a very good checklist as a starting point.</description>

		<description>Something else I recently encountered was to know what categories and subcategories are needed before the budget is signed off. I had a recent client who wanted me to make up mockups of every single page of the site before building it, and that was waaaaay too time consuming. I managed to talk them into seeing some sample pages and common templates, but that I really need those site categories and subcategories given to me so that I don&#039;t have feature creep. Unfortunately, I had feature creep and it cost me 2 weeks of doing free work for the client. They were a valuable client to me in the long run, so I put up with it.

Another thing is to understand which images they want modified such that backgrounds are cut out, or backgrounds out + stuck on a new background (like a gradient). I had no idea they would want me to chop out backgrounds on 70 images until the contract was already signed off. What a time consumer.</description>
