Design Case Study Summary

This blog post is about an article I read, to get to said article follow this link: Turning small projects into big profit.
I read this article because it was interesting to me and I found it to be extremely useful, since i know most people are to lazy to go read the article themselves, I'll highlight the main points here.
1) if you turn away 10 to 15 small projects a year at $1500 per project, thats declining between $15000 and $22,500 every year. 
2) The Low-Budget Guide.
3) This guide helps prevent forgetting anything, and saves us hours of time, and it allows us to review which process's are efficient for us, and which are not. It also ensures quality, and every-time you follow the guide, you get more proficient allowing you to move faster.
4) Theres no shame in using a pre-built theme, but be sure to follow the licensing agreement.
5) modular coding, less is more.
6) standardize basic business practices.
7) show clients websites with budgets close to theres.
8) have the client prioritize.
9) tell them what cant be done.
10) sign a contract.
11) charge for missed meeting and handle payments better, require a down payment.
The other three articles that I read were:
1) This article was about how a company reduced its cancelation rate by 87.5%. Follow this link to get to it: reduced cancelation rate.
2) This article was about quickly processing millions of images. Follow this link to get to it: batch processing.
3) This article was visual design explorations. Follow this link to get to it: visual design explorations.
