Starting a web design project can be a daunting task. We have all heard horror stories about a web design project that went thousands of dollars over budget and was never finished.
This is usually caused by a combination of feature creep (the client adds more and more features throughout the project) and over-promising and under-delivering (the web design provider promises everything but can’t actually deliver on their promise).
