    It always sucks when clients push for the oh-so-important deadline, then once you rush to get it done, extend it for a few more changes.

    I just make it really clear that it is a "push" to meet a deadline and the agreed assumption is that is the final. I don't kill them for minor changes, but I make it clear that working longer hours is working longer hours.

    Most people will understand and keep that in mind. At the end, you want a client that is happy.

    I'd just discuss it with them. Sometimes they'll offer something like "ok, well how much would it cost for this?" or "what can we get done that is reasonable". A pleasant conversation can go a long way and a little negotiation can often times keep them happy w/o you going overboard with extra effort.

    Great client, then keep them happy.
