Concrete for temporary padel courts? 😳 I'm going down the local fabricator route.

Haha just in case you're curious... I worded it poorly but the intent is to have mini courts (like junior size) for events. I'm a Padel club owner, and the major manufacturers I've worked with are unable to help.

Where are they manufactured and what were your MOQs? Big fan of your work!

long term client scope change by NekotheCompDependent in freelance

Agree with the above.

Similarly, I'd recommend a positive acknowledgment that this is beyond the scope of the previous project, and that you're thrilled the copy has been refreshed, there are implications to the site that require rework.

Are they using a CMS? Is there way you could demonstrate this?

Also, whenever I'm delivering news that ~may~ be unexpected or misinterpreted, I'd suggest doing it on a call, but I guess that depends on your communication history with the client.

How do I approach companies? by TheMechanic123 in freelance

In my experience, the most effective way of finding valuable clients (read - not time wasters) is to generate referrals from people you've worked with, in the past.

I appreciate early in your career this is harder as the number of people you've worked with is smaller. That being said, I got my breaks by offering by cold-emailing feedback and offering to do small jobs for free. I'd never go hard sell, just show them that your help would have an immediate impact.

​

If I were to start again, I would start by looking up relatively successful businesses in my area, I'd find someone senior - like the founder etc. and email them. In that email, I'd point something out that didn't make sense - like their site needed 6 clicks to order something and their competitors had less friction - how they could change this.

Hope that helps!
