I'm going to put you in a very common situation that happens practically every day in my work. So much so that I've even decided to write a post to guide my clients, both current and future, in this regard.
Imagine that you, the one reading these lines, were a client interested in hiring a web designer and you came to me asking for information about it.
The conversation we would probably have would go something like this:
Client (C): “Good morning. I would like to know how much a website could cost.”
Designer (D): – “Good morning. Well, let me explain: depending on the dominican republic telegram data of what you have in mind, the price varies in one way or another.”
C: “I just want a simple website. What do you need?”
D: “Okay, simple… but what do you want to put there? What do you want your customers to find there when they visit your website?”
C: “Oh, I don’t know. I was hoping you could help me, since you are the web designer.”
D: “Okay. Don’t worry. I’m going to ask you a series of questions to get more specific about what you want.”
From here on out… it is often chaos. The client doesn’t know what he wants and has never thought about what you are asking him. In fact, he continues to answer many things “whatever you want, you are the designer.”
And no. It doesn't work like that.
One of the most important things in these projects is that the client has to be involved, since no one knows their business better than anyone else and what they want to achieve with the website they want to create.
It's not about being on the Internet just for the sake of it. It's about being there to improve your company, your image, your number of clients and your profits.
As a professional in the sector, I can advise you based on your idea and explain what you need to create your website . But creating a website is like any other project: you have to carry out a series of steps, which you should not skip if you want your website to work and serve your business.
And the planning step is probably the most important of all .
Can you imagine building a house without first preparing plans or studying where each wall, window or door goes, leaving everything exposed to the improvisation of the bricklayer who builds your house?
No, right? Well, this is the same thing.
So that you don't go blindly into a meeting with a web designer, I thought it would be a good idea to put together in this post a series of questions that will be very useful for you to know how to plan the design of your website .
I am convinced that any professional web designer worth his salt will ask you these questions (and if not, he is not a true professional in this field. Don't be fooled or told lies ).
