Before moving onto any hands-on work, you first need to discuss the project together and make sure you\u2019re a proper fit. For the most part, consultations are usually held in-person. But it\u2019s just as effective to have them electronically!\n\nWith platforms such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skype.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Skype<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/gsuite.google.ca\/intl\/en_ca\/products\/meet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Hangouts<\/a>, you and your client can meet, regardless of where you\u2019re located. The outcome of the consultation should still be the same: your client should learn who you are (and get a better idea of whether you\u2019re the best designer for the job), and you should learn everything you possibly can about the project, its budget, etc.\n\nIf you\u2019d like further guidance regarding the best questions to always ask during your client consultation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2015\/08\/client-consultation-questions-creating-the-concept\/\">keep reading here<\/a>!\n\nOnce the project is in motion, you can then hold all follow-up appointments electronically as well (if necessary).\n\n<strong><em>Pro tip: <\/em><\/strong><em>Never start ANY work until you\u2019ve drawn up your design contract and have had it signed by the client.
