IT WILL BE OK, PUT DOWN THE RFP AND STEP AWAY

RFPs have been integral to building Drupal websites for a long time. And they suck. They hurt everyone. The Client, The Developer, The End Product all suffer at the hands of the RFPs.

Everyone loses.

Developers lose by having to do free work to analyze (and guess) the clients site needs, invest tons of time in proposals they probably won't win, and when they do win, they lose anyways when the client gets through discovery and realizes they wanted something entirely different, gets angry at the scope and budget changes, and gets hostile to the developer. Or the Developer builds the site as originally intended, but the client changes things all along the way, increasing the budget incrementally, and then at the end the client is furious that the budget exploded.

Clients lose by not doing a proper discovery phase to learn their needs before they issue an RFP. They lose when their expectations are completely shattered by a fundamentally dishonest (unintentionally) process that leads them to be on the losing end of scope creep and budget changes. They lose when they base everything on the bottom line, rather than the quality of the partner they choose.

There is a better way. It's harder for a freelancer, but it can be done. Lets talk about it. And help clients, developers, and websites in the process. So everyone can win.
