Working with friends can be fun, but you can find yourself in a snakepit if you're not careful. Here's what do do, and what not to do. For instance, you're a webhoster with technical knowledge, and your client wants you to build the entire corporate site. Are you going to look for a designer if you know one ?

  • Do


  • Have them sign an agreement with a pricetag.

  • No nasty suprises afterwards.

  • Encourage them to show the best they can.

  • You want top results. You won't get it by believing they will work hard.

  • Make them present themselves to your client.

  • Don't make the client rely on you and then get disappointed when the result is not what he or she expected.

  • Require regular scheduled updates and meetings.

  • Even if you have to go out to meet them - it's worth it.
    Don't


  • Promise anything beyond the agreement you've signed.

  • It's a bad thing to do and you're never sure you will be able to keep your promise.

  • Talk about details they don't need to know.

  • Whatever the client is paying you is of no concern to them.

  • Say you trust them to to their job they think best.

  • You're in charge. Keep it that way.

  • Never let your emotions run this

  • - This is business. Money is to be made. And you'd probably like the client to hire you again !
