For a designer, there are several issues to deal with when it comes to successful accomplishment of the projects and satisfying the clients. What factors to consider and what factors to ignore during a web design process? Only experts’ guide can help in that regard. In the lines below, 10 steps would be described to help web designers dealing with multiple projects while making the process healthier.

1- Know What The Project Is All About

Before actually getting started with the design work, know the project details. How the web design would help the end users and what function would it perform. If web designers start working on a project without understanding the details, more are the chances they would reach the goal, but through some longer route.

2- Communicate Effectively To Convey The Thoughts

Powerful presentation helps in conveying the right ideas to the designers as well as the clients. If a designer remains successful in conveying the right idea, it lowers the actual work time that would otherwise be consumed in feedback sessions or questioning.

While presenting work, show the individual components and the logic behind each one’s working. Then, go to the site’s framework, and the user interactions. Present the entire project in a step-by-step manner. And then, reveal the whole page comprising all of the components.

3- Decide About The Framework

The decision about the framework and the user interaction should be taken at first when you are going to start a web project. Whether the designing is for TV, mobile, or web, check the user interaction ways, the designing space available, the way users will move from one to the other view, and the navigation required. Take signals from apps, even if you are working on website designing. May be there is a need of 5 templates, not 20, for your website, and the rest of the information comes through fly-outs or interactive drawers. Make use of innovation before designing the individual elements and keeping in mind the final product.

4- Find Excitement In The Work

For the designing work that requires more time and involve more revisions, you may feel exhausted and lose the excitement. If you find the home page design a boring task, you can go towards designing the terms and conditions. Bring innovation in the work, which will help in improving the overall look and feel of the web design.

5- Focus Individual Pixels

After getting the clear idea, the remaining half of the work is about execution. Many businesses have great ideas, but couldn’t create an impact due to poor implementation. Although, users can’t identify the exact pixel differences, but can tell the difference between a good and a bad design. Look at the minute details to make a pixel perfect design that could stand apart from other websites.

6- Keep Questioning Yourself

You are confident about your designing work, it’s well and good, but only if the end product is going to be a masterpiece. Do question yourself whether you are on the right path or not. Consider the project from the user’s perspective and bring the changes in the designing process that could help in coming up at a website that is attractive and functional for the end user.

7- Take Input Of Others

Designers shouldn’t work individually; they should take input of others as well like developers, clients, and producers. Everyone might have some valuable ideas to make the project successful. The collective efforts of all end up in some masterpiece.

8- Stay Organized In Your Work

While working in a web design firm, a project usually reflects the contribution of many designers. It helps in keeping the work well organized including the folder structure, file naming, layer labelling in a PSD file. Designers don’t have to waste time in understanding the work structure, as all the layers are named and arranged in a logical manner. It’s a more professional way when it comes to delivering the project to the client.

Using a grid helps in staying consistent and creating templates in a faster manner and revealing the component limits. The final layout, containing all the design elements, gives the look of a puzzle. A dynamic layout, created by using a grid, helps the designers to replace the individual component as and when they want.

9- Consistency Is The Key

Designers have to create a style guide for the project they have completed. Such a guide has complete detail of the user interaction, in the form of PSDs, like icons, fonts, buttons, links, and every state of each element. Every single designing component should be described there in the guide to help the developers in exporting graphics as sprites from the file. It also helps in bringing consistency among the project elements.

10- Feel Confident About Your Work

Many web designers don’t feel satisfied with their work once they are done. That’s not a wise approach and can put hurdle in way of professional development. Whatever you have done, whether it’s some masterpiece or some flawed work, you should feel confident. Mistakes are to learn and good work is to continue with the efforts.

If not all, then few of the above-mentioned points might be of your good use. Considering all of them will not only help in improving your work quality, but also enhancing your productivity. Once you become an expert, you can create your own checklist and can suggest others to follow that process.
