The build a web site depends on the purpose of the customer who is paying for the website design. Because of this a website designer must have good listening skills. Also, as an expert in web design he should be able to lead the customer in drawing out his exact needs. This is similar to a professional coach helping you to find your difficulties in the way you play a sport and helping your in playing better by giving suggestions.
Every web site designer need to adhere to certain common rules in all the website design assignments that he or she is assigned by clients. The first common rule to be followed is to ensure that 'what you see is what you get' and this should be reflected in all the tasks of the web designer. The second common rule is to have a common thread between all the pages of a website and the web portal.
Before you begin to build a web site, you should properly document all user prescriptions and group them into technological and design prescriptions. In order to meet the technological prescriptions, all functionalities expected from the website to the available features in the design software should be mapped. Excellence in the mapping will lead to better web site design.
Remember the word-of-mouth policy when charging customers to build a website for them.Listening more and talking less shows your admiration for your customer. Assure your customer that he will add real worth to his website by using your expertise.
For example, if you are asked to build a web site by a model, it would be great if you could show some websites that you have created to highlight online portfolios of other models. The value of professional references in the world of website design can not be overestimated.
