Freelance web design, the importance of the project planning

Reached a new potential customer to you, and he also liked your portfolio needs a web site, he said. An agreement in principle at the point you make a lot of pre-interview. You are about to get a new job is no longer a website. Well as project scope, project duration, and most importantly, came to the conditions of payment. At this point, the customer will make you lose all the strings can cause an error. Is delayed or missing payments, the business scope is expanded, removed the extra jobs, work longer, professionalism away without respect to persons engaged in the work, the other party does not take you seriously, forgetting that the customer begins to behave like your boss, the website is finished, take your hands ... This is without payment To avoid what should you do?

Freelance web design market against this situation frequently encountered, there is a way to get action from the beginning of work: Design. yet customer-facing web site starting work scope, features, infrastructure and technical details, payment schedule and work out with the proposal for a project that, both harcayağınız will be assured for the time and effort, as well as your customers will start against the professional and reassuring.

Projecting how and what should be considered?

I am doing project usually spend three sections:

1. 1 Description of the project
2. 2 Project Scope and features
3. 3 Work and Payment Schedule

"Typically," because I did not include the main headings can be different according to different projects. But in general these three main categories, both the customer and will be enough for you.

1. Description of the project

Definition of the project should be absolutely the first step in the project planning process. Going into technical detail, define the project as outlined, in doing so make sure the customer what he wanted from you. Be careful not to create more question marks in the first step the customer in mind. Prove to him you understand what he wants. 2 to determine the technical details of the project's properties and then can switch.

2. The project scope and specifications

When the project planning, project content and features of the most important part of the customer would like to serve. After analyzing the project, well, the scope of the extra workload by setting yourself against your client is willing to guarantee the future you will be receiving. In terms of customers, will have all the features of the website by offering all lines of, 'who knows what they are doing, the business expert' image of the customer are shown. This is proposed to move while it is reassuring to customers.

In this section, the interface design of the website to begin the preparatory stages, after the completion of the site will have all the features, which use the infrastructure and programming languages, the average number of pages, language options, such as browser compatibility listeyebilirsiniz details. Of course, in doing so, the customer anlamayacağı not to enter too much technical detail, to show more work to do, especially kaçmamaya exaggerated care. Mixing may result in missing a business customer's mind.

3. Work and Payment Schedule

I think the most difficult part of the project planning to prepare the Business calendar. Determine a period for each of the stages of the project, which will take stage to predict how much time is really difficult at first. But it will increase your confidence in your business you gain experience in this regard, as it used to decide zorlanmayacaksınız. More about pricing before Freelance web design, pricing strategy, I wrote an article entitled. I would recommend you to read. How the pricing of this section, because I will not need. I want to focus on the duration of the work schedule.

Another important thing is, you'll be able to get your business site bitirebileceğinizi Do not claim more quickly. On the contrary, if you're new to this business, the total time you expect to write more than a few days. Because the project account at any time without any interruptions and delays can be experienced.

The standard for corporate promotional sites, business calendar, in general, three main process is separate for me personally. And for the payment of 1/4, 1/4, 1/2 prior to each process in the form of demand separated into 3 parts. Thus, in all phases of the project and the project I am getting guaranteed.

Interface design: This time period is a challenging process to design your site's main page. At the end of this time to please the customer, corporate identity and typography and design experience with knowledge and expertise will have of getting to. For this reason, business calendar, select the correct zone for the first time (I usually only want the main page for the design period of at least 3 days). After graduating from the home page and customer satisfaction while also specify a sub-page designs. At the beginning of this process, the total price is 1/4 'can claim fame. Since the amount is small, the customer will probably agree to pay the start of work.

Html coding (and interface dressing): html coding will take more time, though, after a winner in the design phase of your forehead, a process is waiting for you more stress and more free. Corporate advertising sites per 2 weeks is sufficient for HTML & CSS ​​coding to me. If the site is PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, or the like will be a sub-structure, interface, and HTML coding to this structure will be included in this process when you need to get dressed. Therefore, this stage will be enough to make sure you specify the time. Total price is 1/4 "fame, do not forget to claim before this stage.

Publication and delivery of the project test: After graduating from the Web site publishing process with the customer to perform the test three days is sufficient. After testing the whole site and showing them in operation to the customer, ask for the entire remainder of the payment before delivery. this stage is an important reminder; test broadcast, if possible, some of your own web site (server), perform.

As a result;

Prepare a project proposal, taking into account all these told, very clearly a non-legal and legal scope of the labor and time spent working as a sort of guarantee from the beginning of the road than you will in return.
