1. Know Your Objectives

In the time you create your sitemap, thinking of what you wish your visitors to get out each page of your website will give you a strong foundation to evaluate the wireframes as well as design. Having a full proof objective that you refer back to would serve as a reliable guide for your on-going website management. So what are your objectives? Surely you want your conversion rates optimization efficiently. Here is what you get:

• You get more clicks
• You can increase shares
• You can get more traffic and sales

But you need to dive deep than that, because you need to align your web design objectives with your business objectives. You need to streamline the ordering process and focus on creating an email list as well as loyal followings to create an immersive exploration.

2. Be Specific of your project

Whether your web designer does not have clear direction and understanding, you may lose each other in this designing fog. Here is the feedback that is not efficient and effective at the same time.

• Web designing colors are not working for you
• Mike a pop up
• You wish to have something modern and clean
• You see many whitespace
• You may think the design is confusing

The reason is why this type of feedback is not effective is because there are various ways to interpreting the meaning. When you talk about style of your website design, CLEAN AND MODERN can be implemented to a wide number of projects. You may have come across many website designs, but not all are clean and modern, but have different style or aesthetics.

3. Ask Why

Your web designer does not expect you to understand the pros and cons of design, web usability as well as best practices, because these are designers’ job. You can ask your clients why and help them understand the designer approach. Here are the things that you can consider.

• Button styles can attract as well as distract users
• How images and other things can influence the page loading time, which directly
• impact search engine optimization.

At length, it can be said that designers and non-designers approach would be different, but as an web expert, you should understand your clients and approach them accordingly, so that the design process can become more rewarding.
