In this episode, I walk you through my entire web design process from start to finish, emphasizing the importance of client communication and setting clear expectations. I divide the process into four main sections: onboarding, design and development, launch, and offboarding. Key steps I highlight include the discovery call, project proposal, contract signing, kickoff call, and revision management. Additionally, I share valuable strategies for handling client feedback, meeting deadlines, and maintaining long-term client relationships. I also offer special free resources, including a Trello template and a client questionnaire, to assist you in your own web design projects.
If you're building websites for clients without a clear, repeatable process, it's only a matter of time before things go south in a bad way. Here's my exact process for high ticket web design clients.
