As a front-end web developer, there are a few phases and guidelines that I like my clients to be aware of before we begin working together:

1. Discovery phase: In this phase, I will work with you to understand your business needs, target audience, and project goals. We will discuss the scope of the project, timeline, and budget.

2. Design phase: In this phase, I will create wireframes and design mockups for your website. We will work together to refine the design until it meets your expectations.

3. Development phase: In this phase, I will bring the design to life by writing code and building out the website. You will have the opportunity to review the website as it is being developed and provide feedback.

4. Testing and launch phase: In this phase, I will test the website to ensure it is functioning properly and meets your requirements. Once you are satisfied with the website, we will launch it for the public to see.

Throughout the entire process, I will communicate with you regularly and keep you updated on the progress of the project. I value collaboration and believe that working closely with my clients leads to the best possible outcome.
