Rave: Easy Clients

[Fat Strat]

I just did a conference call with a local non-profit. They want me to do a complete revamp of their website and a redesign of their publications. New look, new feel, new copy, everything.

The BEST part is that I convinced them to maintain it (without having to subtract any of the built-in costs for maintenance), AND without any sales pitch from me, they wanted to add unnecessary, expensive, yet easy to build "extra features" onto their site! Their extra stuff will actually make the site easier and faster for me to build. All for $300 extra!

This will be the easiest money I've ever made.

I love easy clients.

Financials aside, the site/publications are for a cause I believe it. It's an agency that functions as a centralized contact center for people who need assitance (of any kind). You call them and they put you in touch with the agencies that can help you, and, maybe more importantly, help the agencies function better and reach the kind of people that they want to help. The agency here in Tulsa is one of the most active in the nation; they receive more phone calls and requests for assistance than many cities 10x larger, including New York, LA, and San Francisco.

I have almost complete freedom in the design, and most of the ideas that I suggested were endorsed enthusiastically.

Did I mention that I love easy clients?!
