No matter the size of your operation, a service supplier should never, ever go into an arrangement without detailing what is to be supplied.

I give all clients (be they through freelance or through salaried work) a Functional Specification. This describes in detail what each page will do, what emails are to be included, which database the data should be written to, etc, etc. This becomes a script that then becomes cultural.

It also prevents ‘scope creep’ and ‘iterative development’ - ie she changes it a lot ;).

My FS document declares what will happen in both instances. Should extra functionality be required, it is scoped as a separate project, documented and is scheduled as phase two - for which there will be an additional fee. To prevent iterations, the client has the right to make one round of changes for each page then signs it off. If any more are required, then a second tier of charging is applied until the work is done.

The foregoing relies on the overall site look and feel having been agreed and incorporated into the FS document. The FS also states what the invoicing points are to be and the period of credit allowed.

Then both supplier and client sign. It’s an excellent tool 'cos it works 🙂
