Discovery Phase: This is the first phase of the project where I gather all the necessary information about the project, including the scope, objectives, target audience, and design preferences.

Planning Phase: After gathering all the necessary information, I develop a project plan that outlines the project's timeline, milestones, and deliverables. This plan helps both parties to have a clear understanding of the project's scope and expectations.

Design Phase: In this phase, I create wireframes, mockups, and prototypes that give clients a visual representation of the final product. This phase also involves getting feedback from clients to ensure that the design meets their expectations.

Development Phase: This phase involves writing code to bring the design to life. During this phase, I ensure that the design is responsive, fast, and accessible.

As for guidelines, I expect clients to provide clear communication, prompt feedback, and provide timely payment for services rendered. Additionally, clients should understand that changes to the project's scope or design during the development phase may result in additional costs or delays. Finally, clients should be aware that building a quality website takes time and effort, and rushing the process may compromise the final product's quality.
