However, as is the organic nature of these things, there are an infinite amount of variables that can affect the project timeline. For that reason, projects are never ever as clear-cut as in this sequence of photos. Things may need to be done over and over, steps may get jiggled around, you may need more time for CMS / back-end development etc - so please think of this sequence as merely a basic example of the kind of process that I have grown comfortable with, speaking as a web designer/developer.

Naturally you’re going to want to start your project with a client chit-chat. At the first meeting you need to establish the basic scope of the work - what needs to be done, roles and responsibilities, who is your point of contact for materials (text content, images) etc.
