It sounds crazy, but I promise, it’s possible!

Plan• Prepare your client

– Give them a step-by-step prep guide

– Give them access to your resources and tools (Kuler, Google Fonts, Pinterest, Seamless background links)

Content• Have everything BEFORE the session

• Have all assets, copy and images prepared before you begin the build, and make sure your client knows what you need

• Be informed and educated on the industry so you can make good suggestions for organization of content

Design• Know your tools

• Be confident and eliminate distractions

• Don’t over-design

• Coordinate with your developer to make sure it’s the most effective design possible

Develop• Pull from all your old code• Use code already tested for browser compatibility,

minimize risk• Use frameworks such as Bootstrap or Foundation to

make build go faster• Use a CMS to make for easy maintenance• Use tools for contact forms like Wufoo, Gravity Forms,

or Contact Form 7 • Consider making time for training your client on how to

use and update

Marketing & Content• Make time for training on updates (technical

and best practices)

• Analytics for data tracking

• Social Media setup and maintenance

• Email marketing

In General• Don’t give yourself more work than necessary

• Prioritize your to-do list based on importance

• Make a schedule for the day and stick to it

• Have your client at arm’s length during the entire design & build process
