7 Tips for Working with A
Web Designer
B L O G | A D V A N C E D D I G I T A L M E D I A S E R V I C E S

We like examining the mindset of
web designers and developers to
consider how they approach the
task of working with clients. We also
think it is important to touch on the
topic of how clients can smoothly
and successfully work with a web
designer.
Building or reshaping your website to
a level where it can compete
successfully may be one of the factors
that will help lead your business to
success. If you are a business owner
and thinking about hiring a web
design company, we recommend the
following approaches.
1. Be sure to communicate your
goals and business needs. It
would make little sense to create an
amazing website if it fails to meet
your business goals, strategies, and
budget. Communicate to your
designer what you want to
accomplish with your website. What
ways does your company want to
stand out from the competition?
Have you analyzed your target
market? Have you had an opportunity
to define, or redefine, your business
goals? Are you aware of the benefits of
creating a mobile-friendly site? Have
you figured out a creative marketing
approach that sets you apart from the
competition? Have you set a deadline
for your website remake or design
completion? Have you considered
how your website will remain flexible
with new content?
Working with a web designer will
require a budget. As a website
owner, you can always choose to
limit any creative design options to
lower your costs. Discuss your
budget with the designer. You can
control the design narrative and
better manage their own
expectations of what you want
and expect from a design company.
2. Your brand is how people
accept and view your company.
Of course, your company’s own
marketing strategies and standards
also play an important role in how
people react to your brand.
Share with your web designers
essential information about font
preferences, colors, visual imagery,
logos, and anything else that you
think will help give you a leg up on
the competition. Website owners
do not always need a new website.
Sometimes, they need a rebrand.
3. When working with a web
designer, feedback and
communication are key. If
communicating through email, take
care to avoid sending too many
emails for every little change. Those
emails can eat up the designer’s
time. Consolidate your feedback so
that your design company is happy
to sign off on the final design.
4. Start with quality content.
You can always choose to write
web content first and then ask
your design company for help in
tweaking and optimizing it. This
enables you to speed up the
process and to limit redesigns and
delays.
Also, keep in mind that many web
design firms have staff members
who can write quality, optimized
content for your company. These
content writers are familiar with
SEO principles and can help your
company rank higher in SERPs.
5. When you hire a web designer,
you should create a clear schedule
of deliverables. Having a schedule
of deliverables to check off ensures
designers know exactly when each
project is due. This will help you
avoid having to pressure your
designer, thus creating a smooth
working relationship. You can also
keep deadlines on your end of the
deal by paying invoices on time and
agreeing to sign off on designs to
move projects forward.
6. Create a blueprint for the entire
design process. When working
with a web designer, it makes good
business sense to always create a
written overview of all the work that
will follow in each design phase. A
paper trail allows the designer to
refer back to the document to make
sure he or she is on track. Also, a
written document can help resolve
any misunderstandings.
7. A working friendship is worth
its weight in gold. Websites often
need some type of modification
down the line. A good working
relationship with a design firm can
get things moving with a simple
phone call. It is always a good idea
to stay in touch with your web
designer.
As experienced web designers, we
at Advanced Digital Media Services
take pride in being able to develop
professional and pleasant working
relationships with our clients. We
believe in always being open and
transparent and value our ability to
communicate with our clients
every step along the way. This

promise.
