Who will be doing what during site production and who will be doing what after the site is launched? Involving the right skills at the right time can help you manage your budget and limit waste.

For example, if you can do all the work yourself, except for a custom theme, you can keep your budget reasonably low by bringing in the themer after you have a handle on your requirements and design. But if you aren’t building the site yourself, you need to decide if one person or five people will meet your needs (your requirements will help with this decision process).
