Keeping a solid relationship between you and your web designer can make the web design process a lot easier. So how can you keep the relationship strong?
- Know your likes and dislikes. Do a little homework before you meet with your web designer for the first time. Look at websites of other companies in your industry and see what you like about their sites. Do you dig your competitor’s photo gallery? Do you hate another company’s color scheme? After you’ve seen a couple of existing websites, think about what you want your site to look like and what capabilities you’d like it to have. If you have clear ideas and expectations, it will make our work a lot easier.
- And stick with those likes and dislikes. The relationship between web designer and client tends to get a little strained when the client gets fickle. Stick to your instincts - the first ideas that came to you were probably the best, and if you keep changing your mind about what you want, your web designer is going to have trouble keeping up.
- But be flexible. Although web designers like their clients to know what they want, web designers also need the freedom to run with the ideas and adjust them to make them realistic. We want guidance from our clients, but we also need our clients to trust us to fine tune their ideas in order to make them work.
- Buy your web designer expensive gifts. One of these would be nice
- Communicate. With any relationship, communication is key. Once in awhile, we have a client that is tough to get a hold of, and that makes the design process very difficult. The quicker you can return our calls and e-mails, the stronger our relationship will be (and the better your website will be).
Work with us on these things, and we promise to deliver the creative problem solving and great design you need to make your business stand out on the web.
