Know What You Want Before You Start.

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

Designing websites is a art form. You need to have the right tools to create the perfect web design. You also need good examples of what the client wants, template ideas, colors and long term plans for the clients website. Just recently we had sat down with a brand new client to start on a website. They had showed me several inspiring designs they had liked and several they had not liked. This was information we always request before we start designing. Saving you time and frustration of a concept you are not interested in is key. After a hour and a half of going over these websites I was pretty sure I knew a pretty good direction of where they were headed.

A few days had passed and we had finished a draft design/mock up of their new website and we showed the client. We surprisingly didn’t get the reaction that we were hoping for. It turned out that the client really didn’t know what they had wanted and found another website that they had liked and now was basing all of their ideas off of the new website.

I know what it is like to be in the clients shoes and sometimes it is a frustrating place to be in. Here are some of the beginner web design points you go through when designing your first site.

  • You want to get your website up ASAP.
  • Thinking you have seen all there is to see in your industry , you choose a design and your web design company starts to design your site.
  • While you wait for the design you keep searching out designs of new sites and find new ideas.
  • You get the design back and realize that it doesn’t match what you just found.
  • You want to start all over again.

    This can be a frustrating point in time for both you and your web designer. It can be avoided though if you research and know what you want in your design and explain this to your web designer before you get started. Redesigning websites can be a tedious task so please make sure you know exactly what you are looking for before you start!

    Some “Web Designers” aren’t designers

    Saturday, November 28th, 2009

    Florida is filled to the top of web designers that come to the sunshine state for the all year round warm weather. I have gotten tons of emails from people just out of college looking for more freelance work, or emails from just any one claiming to be a web designer. I am always interested in what they have to offer hoping that one day I will find something i haven’t seen before. Sadly I am always disappointed in the results. Some web designers aren’t designers at all! They think because they know html, or PHP that they can build you a world class site, for sometimes 10 times less than you would pay at a professional web design firm. But before you go spending that hard earned money on these fly by night designers, you need to look at the true aspects of design.  Things like color matching, pictures and fonts. These are just a few things that separates the good from the bad.

    Next time you are thinking of going with a web designer, make sure you go with a actual designer too! It will make the difference in how your clients see your business.
