It is the designers job to prevent scope creep and to alert the client when it happens. I promises you, that if you submit a new invoice with the changes or additions they want to sneak in they will either gladly pay it because they truly want a good job done or they will not ask you to do something outside the initial project scope again. The only reason you should accept scope creep is if you did not make the proper definitions about the work you would do in the initial brief!

The easiest way to fire a bad client is to make sure it is in the contract they sign with you when you start the work. DO NOT tolerate a rude or abusive client but by the same token don't be rude or abusive when you kindly fire them just contact your lawyer.

Hmmm...I was strung along for 3 - 4 weeks awaiting product descriptions, each week I was given another, "I'm sorry", and a new promise. At the end of that, I received hand-written notes which on examination were simply the text from existing brochures. The average American worker is phoning it in, at best...a month delay for nothing.

Arguably this is my fault. I should have simply used the brochure text to start. The illusion that their mgrs would produce quality work if given a bit of time had less substance than fog.

That said, scope creep is inevitable. Contracts can help, but there will always be creep.

But how do you protect yourself from true penny-pincher, someone who has made a life of squeezing every time? Such a person who is looking for every petty angle, killing a project over pennies and therefore losing dollars? Sigh.

I don't work for people who yell at me. That has no place in a professional environment. If someone does that to you, inform them it is unacceptable and leave. If they do it the next time, tell them if they continue you will leave forever. Then do.

As long as we put up with such behavior it continues.

Maybe not for this thread, but how do you fire an abusive website

design/development client? Especially if it's close to delivery date, and is

it even ethical to just drop them? I feel like my stress levels are so high

from being yelled at and being forced to make changes to the site structure

this late in the game, that the money just isn't worth it anymore.

I can't stand to think of letting anyone down, but I'm thinking I should

man-up and dump the job.

Has anyone had to deal with a similar issue?
