them present you with best solutions.

Keep it Clear

Make sure that documentation at all stages of

project is clear and understood by both parties.

If there is any relevant terminology specific to your

market or industry, make sure designer knows what it

means - and vice versa: your designer should explain any

specialised concepts used.

If your designer is presenting you with something that

is unclear or unintelligible, let them know as soon as

possible - if you understand what they are talking about,

you will be able to understand what they are

delivering.

Remember Who's Who

In every web development project client has a role

and designer has a role. Remember which is which.

If you are paying your designer to fulfil your

requirements, let them do so. If you are going to do

work yourself, why pay a designer?

The design process should be a collaboration - it makes

it far more likely that end product will be something

that you are happy to be paying for. Provided you have

chosen a good designer, remember that you know your

business, and they know design. It is up to you to tell

your designer about your business, and up to your designer

to tell you about design.

designer-client relationship can be made that little bit

more harmonious.
