Installment #2 in the Ask The Experts series is focused on best practices as a designer as you’re beginning a project with a client. Thanks to my panel of experts for their input on this interesting topic: When you start a project with a client, what are your first steps? Do you use a questionnaire? Have a phone call? Do you use a contract? What do you think is key to getting started on the right foot?

This is the first post in my new “Ask the Experts” series, in which 4 colleagues have graciously agreed to join me in discussing a different design, WordPress, blogging, or marketing topic in each post in the series. The first question: do you believe you get what you pay for when it comes to web site development and other graphic design work?
