Recent notes

  • Fri 30 Oct, 16:16: First Impressions Call booked with Simon for Monday 16 November. Three homepage concepts to prepare: warm and editorial, bold and typographic, and a calmer photo-led one.
  • Mon 26 Oct, 5:14: Proposal opened three times since last night, twice on a phone. Probably showing it to their business partner.
  • Wed 21 Oct, 18:48: Discovery answers are thorough. Main goal is bigger, better-paying jobs rather than more enquiries, so the case studies need to do the heavy lifting. Copy: "a mix of both".
  • Mon 12 Oct, 16:15: Intro call with Simon (20 mins). Had a bad experience with a freelancer who disappeared halfway through, so a clear process and fixed dates matter more than price.
  • Mon 12 Oct, 15:30: Enquiry from Simon via Networking. They've outgrown a DIY Wix site and want something that looks as good as the work they actually do. Rough budget mentioned: £6–8k.
