PLEASE DO NOT SEND CONTENT THROUGH EMAIL AS IT GETS LOST AND TAKES UP LOTS OF SPACE. Thank you 🙂
Best Content Practices
- Upload large files to dropbox or google drive than attach link in the description of the Trello card
- Copy can be organized on google docs and link added to Trello card
- Please do not upload microsoft documents.
- Make sure you add me as a user who has access to the google folders/document OR change access to “anyone with link can access”
Sharing logins & passwords
- We will do most of this analogue style in our kick off call or we will set up a plan to screen share when logins are needed
- If we do need to share passwords or sensitive data any other time we can do so over a phone call or we can use https://onetimesecret.com/
Expectations
- We are eager to help you launch your site within the timeframe we have agreed upon in the proposal. Uploading your content in a timely manner keeps the project on schedule and moving forward. Some steps cannot be completed without your content. If design has been completed and the only delay at the end of the project is client content, you will still be charged for the rest of the design. If you need help with content creation, we are here for you. We offer copywriting services, logo & graphic creation, and we can source stock images or connect you with a local photographer. This is a co creative process and we want your site to launch as soon as possible (without rushing) so you can expand your mission this world so desperately needs.
- Show up for our calls and respond to our messages in a timely manner. This might seem like a no brainer, but we all get busy with life and business. If you need to delay the project or content creation, please let us know so we can adjust our production schedule. We cannot accommodate your changing needs if we do not know what’s going on. If a project is delayed 3 months past the project deadline in this proposal, a restart fee will be needed in order to move forward and finish bringing your site to life (30% of project total).
