What is a good web designer?
The question is very good. If you've gotten to that point yourself, you're on the right track. In fact, could the title of the post be “What is a good professional”? Well, there are several ways to approach the issue, but here are a few things that can help you recognize who is worth working with.
Who is a Web Designer?
Many people call themselves web designers, but this is often not entirely true. The problem is not necessarily professionalism. Professionals are constantly learning and training in this field, because new trends and new solutions come out every day, and if you want to keep up and create really cool websites, you can never stop learning. Many people make the mistake of learning the basics, taking the title of web designer and sitting back waiting for the miracle.
I'm a web designer?
For a long time I was hesitant about when I became a web designer. Then I realized that I already am. Not because I have learned the basics of the profession, because in order to be truly professional, I need a lot more, but because my attitude is good for the whole “webdesigner existence”.
This means that many people, when a client wants to accomplish something according to their ideas, the contractor prefers to dissuade them because they either do not know the necessary technology or just because they are lazy to look into it and want to work with their already well-established methods. I'm not saying you have to mess around and mess around with what the client is asking you to do by saying: “Well done...” Or all the impossible requests of the client must be met. No, I don't. There are times when you have to be able to say that this cannot be done, or that it would take a long time to develop, so the price can also change, since you have to investigate how to solve the request. In any case, there must be a desire to develop and a constant desire to learn for this profession, because it is changing very quickly.
I think that everything can be solved, you just have to want and constantly absorb new information.
Of course, I have also encountered steep questions, but I think that if after a little research it turns out that it is not feasible what the client is asking for, then it must be told to him with arguments. You will understand, but first you need to take the fatigue and map out whether the thing in question can be solved, not immediately reject it.
We are the customer, not the customer...
