Methods of working

There are a few considerations which may affect how we work. For a job of any significant size I prefer to have at least one face to face meeting and this limits me to the area of London's tube network.

Kicking off

After an initial phone conversation (resulting from your email) about how I might help I would arrange to visit you to agree initial scope and requirements, and if possible to bring away enough information to allow me to come up with a preliminary proposal.

...following through...

The method of working, whether from home or your office will depend on circumstances. Frequently requests and completed items can be transferred by email for checking and approval. In the case of a large job it may be necessary for a second visit before the final completion and approval.

...and After

In many cases the work would end there. In some cases, especially web page designs, there will be a need to keep the designs up to date. In such cases I would either train you to make your own changes or may agree to make the changes myself and upload them from my home provided you have selected an acceptable ISP.

Use of software

For a one-off design you won't be too interested in which programs I use. If you plan to make future changes yourself, however, we will need to use compatible programs. I have a wide range of programs available or can use yours. Unless agreed otherwise I shall be using the following programs:
 
Newsletters and brochures Corel Wordperfect 12/ MS Word 2000/Adobe Indesign 2
Diagrams and illustrations Xara Xtreme/Adobe Illustrator 9
Web navigation aids Xara Xtreme/Macromedia Fireworks MX
Photo enhancementsAdobe Photoshop 6
Web pagesMacromedia Dreamweaver MX/WordPad
SpreadsheetsMS Excel
Relational databasesMS Access 2000
Portable documentsAdobe Acrobat 5

Costs

I would normally expect to be reimbursed for out of pocket expenses such as travelling costs, agreed in advance. Next page
