I started putting the project budget in the email subject line and it actually worked
We kept having scope creep on smaller website builds (like the $8k one for that bakery in Springfield). The budget was always in the proposal, but never in the main talk. So I tried putting '[Project Name] - $8k Budget' right in the subject of every email chain. It sounds small, but it kept everyone focused. Has anyone else tried a simple trick like this to keep projects on track?

Heard a friend try something like that with a client who kept adding features. Put "Redesign - no extra budget" in bold at the top of every meeting invite. It worked like a charm. Client stopped asking for freebies after the third meeting. Sometimes a little visual reminder is all it takes.
