Design A Poftfolio Website Part One:
Design a Portfolio Website Part Two:
The last few months I have been experimenting with Basecamp Project Management and how it can help with my work flow, my findings; its changed my design process forever, improving communication with my clients and allowing me to easily run multiple design projects.
I thought it may be interesting to some designers to learn how I undertake a typical web design project, all my projects follow a methodology. This methodology is a step by step guide that I have created to produce a successful website, my process is split into 4 linear steps:
One of the hardest parts of graphic design whilst creating a website is the logo design, its often very hard to create an image that truly represents a company and its branding, but if we keep in our minds eye certain principles of logo design you can normally create a suitable mark.
I know of a few designers whom have been ripped off by some client whom has received a service and have simply refused to pay. I want to share my method of payment for Web design services I undertake, its simple, requires few steps and never fails, well not yet anyway.
In the early stages of a web design project most designers I know offer 3 different designs for the client to pick from, the client picks which is their favorite of the three mock ups and this design is used for the project. I think this design process is unproductive for the project, and worse it wastes time.
