You will derive a lot of great benefits from using these pre-built websites. One of them is the ease in which you’ll be able to bring clients on board. They want to know what they can expect from you from the get-go, and you can provide them with exactly that.
使用这些预建网站将为您带来很多好处。 其中之一就是您可以轻松吸引客户加入。 他们想知道一开始对您的期望，您可以为他们提供确切的信息。

您可以使他们对自己有能力按时完成任务充满信心。 他们还将确保您有能力在进行过程中向您提供任何必要的反馈。
But sometimes, having just the right pre-built website at your fingertips might not be enough. In which case, you can present them with documentation that provides the overview of your workflow. Doing so will make you look like a pro; a person who has the experience and have done this hundreds of times for other clients.
但是有时候，仅靠指尖建立正确的预建网站可能还不够。 在这种情况下，您可以向他们提供文档，以提供工作流程的概述。 这样做会使您看起来像专业人士。 有经验并为其他客户做过数百次的人。
What do these steps entail?
这些步骤需要什么？
- When they can expect your proposal 当他们可以期待您的建议时
- When they can expect a contract, in the event one is required 当他们可以期望签订合同时，如果需要合同
- When they can expect to receive an invoice. For upfront payment, 50-50 payment, or payment upon task completion 他们可以预期何时收到发票。 对于预付款，50-50付款或任务完成时付款
- The deadline for completing the task plus any interim deadlines. Also note whether the client can provide feedback at any time, or only at signoff 完成任务的期限以及任何临时期限。 另请注意，客户是否可以随时提供反馈，还是只能在签核时提供反馈
- You’ll also need to specify how revisions or changes will be managed. Plus, which ones are included in the quoted price, and which ones would involve an extra charge 您还需要指定如何管理修订或更改。 另外，哪些已包含在报价中，哪些会涉及额外费用
Your document should be easy to understand, concise, and complete. You don’t want your clients experiencing any unnecessary or unpleasant surprises
您的文档应该易于理解，简洁和完整。 您不希望您的客户遇到任何不必要或不愉快的惊喜
3.提前交付额外的惊喜，超越客户的期望 (3. Exceed Your Clients’ Expectations by Delivering Ahead of Time with Extra Surprises)
Giving a client an unexpected but pleasant surprise or two should never be a problem. Unless it’s a rush job, you generally have the freedom to negotiate a deadline.
给客户一个意想不到但令人愉快的惊喜永远不会是一个问题。 除非是紧急工作，否则您通常可以自由协商截止日期。
