What Makes a Good Web Designer?
The question is very good. If you’ve gotten to this point yourself, you’re on the right track. In fact, could the title of the post also be “what’s a good professional like?”? Well, there are several ways to approach the issue, but here are some things that can help you realize who you are worth working with.
Who is a Web Designer?
Many people call themselves web designers, but this is often not entirely true. There is not necessarily a problem with professionalism. Professionals in this field are also constantly learning and training themselves because new trends and new solutions are coming out every day, and if someone wants to keep up and create really cool websites, they can never stop learning. Many make the mistake of learning the basics, picking up the title of web designer, and leaning back waiting for a miracle.
Am I a Web Designer?
I have been hesitant for a long time about when I will be a web designer. Then I realized I was already. Not because I’ve learned the basics of the profession, since to be truly professional, I need a lot more, but because my attitude is good about being a “web designer”.
This means that many people when a client wants to implement something according to their ideas, the contractor prefers to discourage him because he is either unfamiliar with the technology required to do so or just because he wants to look lazy and work with his already well-established methods. I’m not saying you have to squat and confuse what the client is asking by saying, “it’s okay…” Or all the impossible requests of the client have to be met. No. There are times when you need to know that this can’t be done, or that it would take a long time to improve on it, so the price can change as you have to investigate how to handle the request. In any case, you need to have the will to develop and the constant desire to learn for this profession because it is changing very fast.
I think 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 follow-up, it turns out that what the client is asking for is not feasible, he should be told with arguments. You will understand, but you must first take the fatigue and map out whether the thing in question can be solved, not reject it right away.
