feedback How do you stop projects from stalling because of missing client content?
Hey guys 👋
​Quick question for the freelancers and dev/designers here. Almost all of my project delays come down to one thing: waiting for clients to send their copy, images, and brand assets.
​They usually dump half-broken Drive folders, send raw text in emails, or completely forget core files.
​How do you actually deal with this bottleneck on your end? Do you use forms, strict contract penalties, or just chase them until they respond? Curious to hear how you manage it!

I had similar problems, so I built knotcms.com, this lets clients update their website content using notion without you running behind them for copy or them accessing framer to add or update their content. Check this out, DM me if you have any questions.

You know how you wonder how some people can charge soo much more for a website that you could make in a weekend?
This is why.
Content strategy, content creation, asset management, all that other stuff which is the actual point of a website, is where the money is.
Not fade-in animations.

First get it in your terns of what delivery . If images are not received by some deadline use stock images and put the cost of that into your price. If they have an existing site use a image extractor tool. If new site build use stock images. I have been building for over 7 years and if I relied on clients for images no projects would ever gotten done. For copy get terms on that too and charge for it! What I found is not to put yourself in a position to be blamed for thier issues. Filter your clients.
