Understand the organization\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you start planning the design for the website, you should take your time and understand who you are working for. You should always spend time going through the brief your client has sent to you for the design. Understanding the business can help you create well-suited designs for the business and organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, just going through the design brief from the company will not be enough for you most of the time. You should always dig a little deeper and find out the organization&#8217;s values and marketing strategies. Knowing these details about the business will help you make better design decisions, and you can also provide better justifications for the choices you make.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Define_the_client-designer_relationship\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Define the client-designer relationship\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When working as a professional designer, you will come across many people. Some clients may show little to no interest in your designing process, and the design approval might also not be as challenging. However, some clients cross all boundaries and try to insert themselves and ask for justifications regarding every design decision you make.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before starting the work, you should always establish the relationship between you and your client and how much involvement they will show during the design process. You should also let your client know what kind of feedback you want from them and which issues they should be focusing on. Doing this can also make the design approval process a lot more straightforward.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Know_the_users\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Know the users<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should always know who you create the design for as a designer. No, we don&#8217;t mean the client (which is also crucial), but we are talking about the people using the website or application you design. Designers always take pride in creating user-centric content and consider the users&#8217; needs when working on their projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you start working on a project, you need to take some time and understand the users. You should try and interact with some of the people using your design and understand their needs and requirements. You can also ask your clients to provide you with their buyer\/user personas, and you can use them to improve the quality of your work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Incorporate_mood_boards\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Incorporate mood boards\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mood boards can help your design approval process and your design process on the whole. Clients are often more keen on telling you what they want than talking about what they don&#8217;t want from you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mood boards can help your client visualize the design and understand how all the elements will come together for the final design. Your clients can also use the mood boards to point out the edits they want to see, and you can understand them better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Say_no_to_multiple_design_concepts\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Say no to multiple design concepts\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are often clients that love the idea of having a choice between multiple design concepts. However, it can be extremely time-consuming and exhausting for you as a designer in the long run and should be avoided as much as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are always working with a limited budget, and it is counterproductive to spend time and resources working on designs that will be thrown away in the end. Multiple design concepts can also complicate the design approval process because your client might like one element from one design and another element from another design, causing more confusion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Tell_them_what_you_can_provide\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Tell them what you can provide\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is more common than you think for clients to tell you about sites that they like and show you designs that they want you to take inspiration from. However, it is unnecessary to like the same design, and you might not create the elements that these web designers use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can show your client some other examples of designs that you can emulate. Doing this will ensure that your client is also aware of what they will be getting, and the design approval process will also be simple. This is why you should always be clear with your client regarding what you like and the design elements that you feel comfortable working with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Present_your_designs_thoroughly\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Present your designs thoroughly\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you create outstanding designs, they are bound to speak for themselves. However, you should still be open to presenting your designs and going over all your decisions when coming up with the design. It can help your client understand your reasoning and respect your choices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should let your clients know why you made the design the way you did and how it meets all the needs of their users. You can also mention their business and organization aspects that you kept in mind and how these aspects influenced your design.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Control_the_way_you_receive_feedback\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Control the way you receive feedback\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best things you can do for the design approval process is controlling the feedback and approval method. For example, instead of the client telling you what <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">they<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> think of the design and what changes <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">they<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> want, you should ask them to tell you what the users will feel about it and whether it meets the user&#8217;s needs or not. You should also let the clients know the type of feedback you want.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also provide them with a more streamlined and efficient platform for design approval.
