Published: Jan. 25, 2019, 2:20 a.m.

This week we'll be discussing the dreaded scope creep and ways to avoid it.\n\nWhat\u2019s scope creep you ask?\n\nIt\u2019s when a client starts to ask for additional work that is \u201cout of scope\u201d, work that was *not* part of the agreed upon job in the beginning. Sometimes it can come in the form of seemingly simple change requests, and small requests can start to snowball into entirely new features.\n\n\nIt\u2019s very easy to jump to the conclusion that your client is trying to take advantage of you but that\u2019s not always the case (although sometimes it\ufffc is lol). Oftentimes it\u2019s just their lack of knowledge of web design in general and what it takes to accomplish certain things, so we have to be educators in some capacity as well when it comes to avoiding scope creep.\n\nWe\u2019ll share some proven tips and to-do\u2019s to keep scope creep from happening on your projects\xa0(hint: contract, contract, contract).\n\n\n\xa0\nHosts Present:\n\n \tDavid Blackmon - Aspen Grove Studios / FB / @aspengrovellc\n \tJosh Hall - JoshHall.co / FB\n \tLeslie Bernal - A Girl and Her Mac / FB / @agirlandhermac\n \tSJ James \u2013 divi.space / FB / @sociallysteve.\n\nResources:\n\n \tWhere To Find Web Design Contract Templates For Web Design Projects\n \tClient Documentation - Full Series\n \tContract Killer\n \t5 Free Web Design Contract Templates You Should Keep Handy\n\n\xa0\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SJY3o57Dk4
