But I make calls on this based on the client, the scope of the job, and compare it to their timeline. There are lots of variables that go into this, but there are a few routes I usually take: * See if the client is open to rolling the site out in phases. * See if the scope of the site can be altered to meet the deadline. * If those ideas don't work for them and I don't feel like I can pull it off well within that time—or the client doesn't have their direction together—I'll pass. But you're right, having a site done very quickly usually equates to a lesser quality site. It’s a sticky situation.
