How can I prepare myself to get the very most from my relationship with my web designer, and how can I make it the most productive and successful partnership possible?
This book shares the tips and tricks that will:
- enable you to choose the right web designer for you
- allow your web designer to work more efficiently on your behalf
- help you collaborate to develop the best website for your services and products
As a freelance web designer with fifteen-plus years of experience developing over five hundred websites for individuals, small-to-medium-sized businesses, and nonprofit organizations, Lisa Stambaugh has developed processes, checklists, and templates to get the job done. No stone has been left unturned in uncovering every little detail of the website design process: the best ways to approach the many tasks and challenges, the common mistakes that clients make, and the things they do that can drive a web designer crazy!
This book is a compilation of this information in a format that will be useful to anyone working with a professional web designer. In the end, you will:
- control the project cost and schedule
- reduce errors
- avoid rework
- minimize your frustration
- shorten the timeline to launch your website
- create the best possible website to meet your goals in terms of budget, timeline, and functionality
Everything you need to know about working with a web designer, in the order you need to know it.
This book should be an essential reference for anyone working with—or planning to hire—a web designer. Its goals are to provide basic guidance for the newcomer embarking on the process for the first time, as well as to offer lessons and process improvements for those already working with a web designer.
Whether you are ready to partner with a web designer for a new website, a redesign project, or major updates to an existing website, you'll find helpful guidelines, tips, and best practices.
As a client, you are ultimately the creator and owner of your website. If you don't collaborate with your web designer and actively participate in the process, you won't end up with the website of your dreams.
Hiring someone to design your website should not be a one-time, short-term project but rather the start of a long—and hopefully productive and successful—business partnership. Let this book be your guide to getting the most out of your relationship with your current or future web designer
How this book is organized:
Part 1: Building Blocks - Understand where you are in the website lifecycle. Know the basic building blocks of any website, including the players.
Part 2: Do Your Homework - Pinpoint budget and timeline constraints. Do your prework by gathering information, conducting competitive analysis, identifying your audience, and drafting a marketing plan.
Part 3: Discovery - Search for qualified candidate web designers that fit your requirements. Initiate contact, complete the investigation and proposal process, and check references.
Part 4: Development -Hire your web designer and build a working relationship of open and honest communication, trust, respect, delegation, and partnership. Design and build your website, understand the creative process, and actively participate in iterative development and refinement.
Part 5: Delivery - Launch and announce your website. Keep your website current in both content and presentation. Know the options if your web designer relationship status changes.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to HPB-Diamond, Carrollton, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
