How to Get the Most Out of Your Web Designer

            Imagine yourself being in a dilemma of choosing the right paint and furniture for the interior of your new home. You want every piece of item to reflect your personality and style. But you don’t know how to go about it. You turn to an expert for help, and having faith his sense of style and expertise in the field, you let him do all the work. It turns out the colors the designer used consisted of bold clashing patterns that give you motion sickness.

            Like interior designing, web designing produces good results if there is collaborative effort on the part of the designer and the client. It’s just like doing a business plan. Give the designer a profile of your business and your objectives for the project. Set the scope and constraints of the plan. And most importantly, identify your target audience.

            Tell your designer what you like or don’t like. Better yet, familiarize yourself with other websites. Or ask for advice. Listen to other ideas but always follow your heart.

           Always get a feedback from your designer. There might be changes and requests you should respond to immediately. Not doing so might leave your designer groping in the dark. The more information you give, the more possibility you will get the design you want. It’s your ideas that shape the outcome of the project. You do the molding and tempering, while the designer acts as the potter’s wheel and kiln, and your ideas serve as the clay. The quality of the pottery is determined by the composition of the clay and how it is prepared. Likewise, the success of your teamwork is reflected in your finished product.
