Like any project, designing a website can be hindered by poor communication. So you have decided to build a website. First the process of choosing one of the many website design services can be a challenge. Once you have found the right website designer however, poor communication can inhibit your ability to turn your website design vision into a reality.
The challenge comes because, no matter how talented your web designer is, he/she essentially speaks a different language. When creating a website there is more the think about then aesthetics. It has to function as well, and function on different web bowers and computers. A website designer will consider this when putting a website together, and you should too.
Its always easier to edit a static design. I always build a layout as an image first so that we can easily move things around, change colors, and edit navigation quickly and easily. Sometimes it even helps to sit down with your website designer after an initial layout has been created and make edits to the design together. Just be sure that once you are ready to begin the website building process you are happy with the layout. It is much harder and more expensive to change a layout once the coding process has begun.
Remember that you chose to hire on of the many website design services because that is what they do – design websites, so trust their abilities. Designers know what will work on the web and what wont so its important to utilize their knowledge.
Lastly, let me comment on cost. Minor changes or fixes are often included in the project cost. However, often major renovations or design changes once the site has been built may incur additional costs. Be sure to discuss this with your designer before you begin so you are clear on the limitations. When creating a website there is more the think about then aesthetics. It has to function as well, and function on different web bowers and computers. A website designer will consider this when putting a website together, and you should too.
