(Please note this is an on-going project)
Creating a website is not hard when the client provides you will all the information and files that are needed, but the challenges come when the client does not understand the process or the work that needs to be done in order to get every done.
1. Legal issues and concerns
Some of the sponsors have certain requirements for the use of the logo. The requirements for use of the logo is something that the client (or person asking for the website) should look into to avoid calling the contractor (freelancer) to say “get this down now are we will all get sued!”
2. Editing copy
As a technical communicator, I am quite familiar with editing the spelling and grammar of copy so I did make some changes to the copy, but I was not familiar with the specific charity or aspect of the charity the event is being promoted. I got a phone call last night saying, the charity doesn’t approve of the text on the webpage… Can you change it?
3. Uploading and making changes
My clients have a hard time understanding that some changes that would take five to ten minutes in Word, Dreamweaver, and Photoshop still take ½ hour to an hour to upload to site. This means that all the small changes they request one at a time are in fact more time consuming that doing them all at once.
