It can be tricky to source an agency and commission them to work on big digital projects such as a responsive website build when you are not entirely sure what you want and need. The traditional model of RFPs and proposals can be restrictive and inefficient. I’ll describe how increasingly clients and agencies alike are finding a model where chunks of time and budget are reserved for collaborative discovery phases can prove more efficient, cost-effective and successful in the long term.
