All my clients get a single project page like this:
http://client.accent.tv/jug/this way they can check progress from any computer, and share thoughts with me or their partners, I found this to be more effective than sending multiple jpegs over email. Plus a lot of times my clients are not in the same city I am, so the face to face thing doesn't work for me, I do go over it on the phone, but I rather get their comments written on an email.
- wow... slick, dudebigtrickagain
- Ideally, this sort of presentation could be tied to a project management app, like Copper. That would be good.Continuity
- would love to hear more about cooper, I have a few clients (agencies) that use basecamp, so sometimes I use itMeeklo
- I've used it a few years ago, and I really liked it. It is expensive, though. They have an online demo you can dick around with.Continuity
- What are you using to generate your client pages? Are they static or CMS-driven?Continuity
- slick - found a few typos - "Images sclaed down for dysplay purposes, "bulletfactory
- I did one in dreamweaver a long time ago, I don't know how to code shit! ;)Meeklo
- thanks for the typo, i'll fix it todayMeeklo
- Nice! As asked, what CMS are you going to be using on this project? Just trying to get a feel...ArmandoEstrada

if you're a salesman type, in person will always help sell it through.
If it's send over via web there needs to be description and project plan with it. Going solely of "pretty pictures" makes for a nightmare because they aren't seeing it for the functionality, user experience, etc.

Depends, really. I've worked in shops that did everything from printing them out on A3 and gluing them to mounting boards for face-to-face meetings, to putting them in PPT presentations and emailing them off like that.
- ugh... PPTMeeklo
- I rather do PDF insteadMeeklo
- I know. PPT is pretty nasty for showing comps.Continuity
- PPT fucks with resolution... sucks ass to hear client say things are grainy, they don't get that it's powerpointless, they think you suckvaxorcist

Just having a discussion in the studio and was wondering how you guys present your flat (jpeg) web layouts to clients?
Simply email them the jpegs?
Put the jpeg into a bit of code so they can view it through the browser?
Personally present it to them and talk it through them?
Any more options?
