I am a freelance web designer. Usually clients hire me because someone referred them to me, or they found my portfolio (madebyargon.com) somehow. The client generally gives me a detailed specification of their app or website, which details the number of screens/pages I need to design. I quote a price range that they agree to by paying an upfront retainer. Within the first 2-3days, I send them a design draft (of the homepage/main screen). If they do not like the draft at all, then I would refund their money (but this has never happened). Usually the client is either happy with the design or asks for some changes. A few back and forth with feedback and we can land on the perfect design. The initial design draft shows the client my quality of work. If they find it to be sub-par then they get a refund. They lose nothing but time (the 2-3days I take to design the draft). Some clients have a specific layout in mind, and they send over wire-frames to follow. Some clients leave it entirely up to me. I usually ask clients for examples of existing website designs they like, so I understand the design sense/feel they would like to go for. Hope this answers your question. BTW, if you are looking for a freelance web designer, I am available. My portfolio is at http://www.madebyargon.com http://www.madebyargon.com
