From the article: Prioritizing Web Projects
Prioritization is an important job skill for most Web designers and freelancers. You need to know what decisions you can make and how to make them. But sometimes making a decision can be hard. These are suggestions from About.com readers for how to prioritize Web projects. How do you prioritize?
Due Dates
- The client's due date is always in the back of their mind so it's crucial to keep track of Web design timelines. Get the design and programming done within the scope ahead of time and leave yourself more room for testing and approvals. The faster you can deliver a quality product the faster you can move onto the next one. Nail down your deadline, scope of the project and communicate well and watch the referrals come. RTDesignGroup.com has operated this way for years and it has worked well so far.

Whatever's due soonest
- I know, it's a horrible way to prioritize, but I've found that it's the only way that works for me. I work on whatever's due next. And when that's done I move on to the next thing that's due.
