Had a client who kept asking for 'just one more tiny change' after we agreed on the final design.

After the fifth round of tweaks, I started charging a small fee for each revision past the agreed number. The next time they asked, I quoted them $50 and they suddenly decided the work was perfect as is. Has anyone else tried something like this to stop scope creep?

I had a client who wanted "just a few more tweaks" on a logo, and it went to eleven rounds. I finally said the next one was a hundred bucks extra. They sent back the original file from round three and called it a day. That fee is a MAGIC trick for making people actually look at what they already have.

Ever hear about my friend's web design nightmare? She added a fifty dollar fee for any change after the fifth round. Honestly, the client suddenly loved the first version they'd been hating on for weeks.

My last client paid for two rounds then stopped asking.
