Project estimates
|
Each engagement brings a set of unknowns. With this in mind, Michelle estimates a range for each anticipated phase at a project's onset.

Best practices.
|
Michelle aims to keep stress low and avoid surprises:
- Be clear about deadlines. Padded deadlines risk limited (or no) availability in the day(s) that follow, as other work may be scheduled. - Be ready to start with final content (get internal approvals on copy beforehand). - Designate one point person to batch feedback & revisions. - Let Michelle know up front if a project requires photos or images to be sourced/edited/retouched; she *can* copyedit and fix typos. |
