10 Tips to Ensure the Success of Your Design Projects
For web designers, having successful client projects leads to happy clients, more referrals, a proven track record, and valuable experience and knowledge that can be used in future projects. But there is a lot that goes into making a project a success, and simply completing the design on time is not enough. In this article we'll take a look at 10 things you can do to make your projects more successful.1. Truly Get to Know the Client and Their Customers/Visitors
In order to create a website that maximizes its potential for your client, you'll first have to get a clear understanding of the client, how they do business, how they brand themselves, and you'll also need to become familiar with their target market. Depending on your familiarity with the client and their industry, this may require a considerable amount of time and effort. The better understanding you have, the more likely you will be to create a site that meets the needs of the client and their users.A common mistake, especially for new designers, is to jump right into the design process without dedicating time to getting familiar with the client. This often leads to a site that may look good on the surface, but doesn't effectively fit the needs and personality of the client.Different designers have their own methods for getting to know their clients, so do whatever works best for you. Some designers have a standard intake questionare or form that they have clients fill out to get information about their business and their customers. Others meet with clients, discussand observe. Whatever your process, be sure that you prioritize the need to get to know your clients, and account for this in your estimates and scheduling of projects.Original Link: http://vandelaydesign.com/blog/business/successful-design-projects/
