Clients Section

As a web developer I consider dealing with clients a big part of my job (probably 20% of my time), I think it is as important as knowing how to design and build a site.

I mean issues like:

* Getting Clients
* Explaining things to clients effectivly
* Getting Content on Time from clients
* Difficult Clients
* Getting Paid on Time
* Telling which clients to Avoid (Red flag clients)
* Repeat Work from existing Clients
* Making yourself availible for contact with clients
* How much to charge

etc etc

I think its a massive subject and needs to be discussed

Hmmmm, yes that is a big part. I will certainly look into creating a section for this.

Yea there's loads of demand for this thread. I second, third and fourth...etc lol this request!

I think there could be some really interesting threads and discussion and this would really help a lot of begginers in freelance...including myself...find their feet.

Great idea!
