How To Set Your Website Design Projects Up For Success

August 1, 2018

I totally get it, boss lady. I have worked with so many talented designers over the years who all have similar frustrations when it comes to one very specific point in their client projects. And that happens to be the point in the process where you dive into website design.

For whatever the reason, it seems like your client design process could be going so smoothly. But when it comes to diving into a custom website design there are so many moving pieces. There is so much content to consider that often times the project just kind of comes to a halt, or you feel a very real hiccup in the process as you transition into website design. Does that sound familiar? Can you totally resonate with what I’m saying here?

Creating A Strategic System For Website Design Projects

I’ve worked with some incredible designers over the years through my one-on-one mentoring and Brand Strategy School and their frustrations are often the same. When it comes time to dive into the custom website design process, the client suddenly has a hard time coming up with content.

The scope of the project starts to change or the client all of a sudden wants to pull inspiration from other people’s websites. They begin to ignore the opportunity to create something totally one-of-a-kind and to truly create a brand that represents the heart behind their life’s work.

Whatever your frustration with custom website design clients and the process of what that looks like, I’ve found there is an easy way for us to remedy the entire situation and truly set everything up for success.

And that truly boils down to the system that we create for website design projects.

Here is the thing. When it comes to website design, there are so many details to consider. And on top of that, there are so many options for your clients to consider. It becomes easy to overthink things and for our clients to become overwhelmed along the way.

And that’s where we really start to run into trouble.

The key with any strategic website design process is just that, it needs to be strategic. And it needs to be streamlined.

Streamline Your Website Design Process

When it comes to the deadlines you set for your clients to deliver needed items like brand photos or website copy, it’s important for you to clearly outline what you expect from them. There are a lot of different moving parts to keep track of. So it’s your job as the designer to inform your clients what you need from them and how they can best deliver those items to you so you can do your job and serve them well.

This is something I feel holds up a lot of really talented designers, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Which is why I’m actually going to go live tomorrow, Thursday, August 2 at 11am CST to share my exact process for setting up my website design projects for success from the very beginning.
