Proofing Your Work
by Jen Pennington
The devil is in the details. Not enough can be said about the importance of proofing work that is designed, written, or programmed for clients. Once a client signs off on a project and the job is sent to print or goes live on the Web, errors found after the fact are the sole responsibility of the client. This is why we provide proofs and require sign-offs for all our work. In most cases we can fix errors that are caught after the fact, but additional costs might be involved. Therefore, please:
- * Proof thoroughly
* Ask yourself if you are missing any part numbers, dates, credits, or copyright notices
* Check all phone numbers and addresses each time you receive a new proof!
* Have someone who knows nothing about the project proof for you-a pair of fresh eyes always finds something
* Double check to see if names are spelled correctly
