Web Design Best Practices
The opportunities for web design are multiple and enormous, particularly with the tools offered by Web2.0, and so are the challenges web designers face.
Bondonneau eSolutions apply a set of principles and processes to guide us in delivering a site meeting our client's expectation and that will provide his customers with content, usability, overall satisfaction.
- Know your client
The principle of knowing your client is really many principles wrapped into one.- The web designer is not the client
- Why does the client want a web site?
Goals and requirements for the web site - What is the client’s industry and what is his perceived position within the industry?
- Involve your client
- The creation of a web site is a joint effort with the client being involved at every step
- The iterative process (Design, Prototype, Evaluate) involving the client ensures that the web site that is delivered meets his expectations
- Know your client’s customers
- Understand the elements and balance the forces
- The competing elements of every design are:
- the customers
- their tasks
- their technology
- their social context
Each of these elements has certain capabilities and limitations that exert forces on the design of the web site. To create a successful site, the designer must understand and balance these forces so that none dominates and each is considered in your final design..
