In particular, if your client’s site is a teenager now, you should help him prepare a budget for an update (kind of like paying for orthodontia, but maybe not as expensive). How do you persuade her that the parts she can’t see, and that she knows nothing about, need to be changed without sounding like an smarmy snake oil vendor?!

I don't have to schedule anything. But I live and work in less than 200 square feet -- so I don't have the room for a lot of equipment.   Don't you hate shipping emails back and forth, only to discover that you don't know where the meeting is supposed to be or there is no suitable time?

Take notes during the interview so you don’t forget what you wanted to ask. If you don’t get it, it wasn’t the right job for you or the right time.
