What should I include in the project brief to ensure a web designer understands my needs?
To ensure a web designer understands your needs, your project brief should include a clear description of your project goals, target audience, aesthetic preferences, specific functionalities (such as e-commerce or a blog), a list of deliverables, the project's timeline, and any brand guidelines or resources available. This detailed information will help the designer align their work with your vision and create a fitting design.
How can I evaluate a web designer's portfolio to make sure they can meet my project requirements?
When evaluating a web designer's portfolio, look for projects similar in scope to yours and assess their design style, functionality, and user experience. Check for diversity in their work and whether they have experience with the specific web platforms or tools you want to use. Consider if their design approach aligns with your brand and vision for the project.
