When having had the opportunity to work on a huge variety of different websites, it is certainly apparent that there are just some projects that run a lot more smoothly than others. It seems that those projects are usually the most enjoyable for both parties and the ones that will generally be the most successful and efficient.
Those projects that do work best, are usually those where everyone is aware of what work is required from both parties and where everyone respects the need for flexibility.
To give your website the very best start, here are a few key points to take into consideration:
# You may not be the most creative of clients but as long as you know what you want from your site, you’re halfway there. A web designer needs as much information from you as possible, starting with what you need your website to do and what is the reason for the site in the first place.
# Researching your competitors’ sites and what you feel is good or bad about them is a great help. Remember, your web designer is an expert in web design and will probably not know much about your industry.
# Send your web designer links to sites that you love. Sending as much information as possible will put the designer on your wavelength and will provide clear goals to aim towards.
# Have all the information required for the site prepared. There is nothing worse than having a site that is ready to be launched with no content. Get your text and images ready.
# Make sure you can afford to pay. A client who pays on time is always appreciated and makes for a much stronger working relationship. Website work can be long-term and a reliable client will always get a more dedicated service.
The successful implementation of a website really comes down to both the designer and the client and can only really work with good communication.
