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 !
