Web CEO is a good tool, but it appears they no longer offer the free version, only a trial:

top 10 mistakes clients make when dealing with their web presence
1. They want to like it.
The potential clients need to like it.. not you. It is for them, not you.
2. Build it and they will come.
3. Back seat driving/2nd guessing the experts or talent
4. No promotion, people are not looking for us on the web
5. Cheapest quote
It is almost impossible to compare apples to apples on quotes
6. An RFP
Lots of people think and RFP is the right way to go. More than not I see RFPs seen as a time waster. Not only does the RFP create alot of work to quote and give
info requested but the worst part is that people think an RFP gives developers enough info to be able to prepare a quote that the company can use
to compare quotes from various companies. It does not. It is very hard to compare apples to apples since there are so many variables involved.
Also most of the RFPs, though assumed by their creators to be complete and thourough are usually very, very vague and not enough detail to actually quote on.
7. Rejection of a scoping study
It can be alot of work to really detail out what needs to be built, especially when interactive or database programming is concerned.
A scoping study is a good way to make sure you and the developer agree on what is going to be built.. and have actually thought through what will be built
and the processes involved. This sort of work needs to be done anyway, so you really are not paying extra. You are insuring instead that you won't be
paying for something that isn't really what you want or need.
8. Wanting to know cost right away
Imagine walking into a real estate office demanind a quote for a house but without giving some specific ideas on size or location.
9. Hiring or listening to relatives
10. Design by committee
11. Reading articles and making decisions on what you read
