Hi guys,

I'm looking for web designers to share how they plan for new websites. Whats your checklist? Any advice you can give to other web designers starting out? Anything you can telling us about what mistakes starting out?

  • Hi Abusschaert,

    Good topic! When you say checklists etc are you going to be building sites for yourself, or are you looking to become a freelancer that does work for clients?

  • Hi

    If you are looking to get started as a Freelance Website Designer, a package that will help you out a lot can be purchased on the Sitepoint website. This is NOT an affiliate link and I am NOT making a cent of of this.

    sitepoint.com/books/wdbk4/

    What does the Bundle include?


    The Web Design Business Kit, 3rd Edition, Epack A 390-page digital book,covering: how to win clients, what to charge, how to hire, plus legal/ financial documents and much more!

    40+ Digital Documents and Templates A downloadable collection of 40 ready-to-use digital documents, templates and contracts: all you need to get your business started.

    Build a Successful Web Design Business - 12 Part Video Course Build a Successful Web Design Business, Paul Boag’s NEW video course that’s packed with hints and tips from his ten years of running Headscape, a super successful web design agency.


    I own this and think it is well worth the price they are charging.

    Good luck,

  • Hi Mary

    I have also used this package and am very happy that I got it. When I purchased, it was a while ago and they did not have the videos included in the training. Also my manual is a bit shorter than the new one.

    Are you finding that the videos are very helpful to you? Just asking as I am wondering if I should upgrade to the newest version.

  • Everyone else seems to be giving good advice. The only thing I can add is that when I design sites, I start with the logo or banner and work from there. I try to tie the color scheme into the logo, give it a nice clean feel.
  • I always do a bit of research, have a look at similar sites first see what they look like and then think how they could be made better
  • I think you can also visit forum of v7n.com. site
