More of this, please! Your business advice is gold. for example, how much would you charge as a junior doing their first web design?

@juliuschooi6008 3 ай бұрын

These advice is very legit and useful especially the need to call in each progress or check ins which, most of the time works better via email or comments on the design file for designers. We need more on these videos for those who looking to do design job out of their full time job.

Such a great video for someone wanting to start his journey as a contractor. I didn't get my head around this 5:35. Do you mean we should add it to the contract so that we get paid for this extra value that make the project more pro? I am a web IA developer, but that was helpful for me. Hope this type of content will raise the standard in the industry of contractors. Thank you!

Trying to communicate with developers who speak very poor English is the absolute worst. They submit builds that are wrong and just say they don't understand the feedback and hope I give up so we move on.

Thanks for all the info! I like the part about not asking for feedback but I assume there are some revision clauses in the contract as well? To prevent endless revision requests?

@Otiia 3 ай бұрын

Your title might be misleading (it might convert better though ;), I would argue that you are asking for feedback but doing it in a much better way than most designers are taught or used to. Feedback is one of the crucial ways to move the project forward and your tips on how to do it are great! (especially those about the contracts).

Thank you for your thoughts and good tips. It's not all that easy in practice. Each client is a new adventure full of ups and downs. The most important thing is that with each project we are more and more confident in ourselves, our skills and our rates :) Have a beatiful day! ☀

Of course it has to be gradual but definitely these are directions worth taking with client work. If you specify your "rules" before signing a client they can accept or maybe negotiate them too a little.

@MrWonderstuff 3 ай бұрын

Developers who butcher designs is so common. Not sure why they do this. It's not good enough to say "they are not designers" - that's why there is a design in the first place. I don't understand why they don't put a png behind the design they are working on and overlay the coded html on top. I have an understanding of html/css and have often just code snippets to show what I am after (or interrogate their code and refer to that).

@kevyn.patrick 3 ай бұрын

Hi Michal, how are u? I'm doing great! Can u make a video about the relevance of prototypes? Like, should I really go super deep in them? Just for showing for the client? Or if it's only the necessary, I can just explain to the dev later or smth like that? I really enjoy doing the prototypes, but I don't have Figma's paid version yet, since I'm unemployed. So I'm kinda limited to do only what the free version can do.

@saskia8018 3 ай бұрын

I think asking for feedback is important but should be done in a way of "I am an expert for design and you are the expert for your company and marketing strategy and I'm asking you which turn you want to take here". Most of the time you can't cover everything in a brief. If you are good at explaining what a particular design decision means, what culture it transports and where it positions them you are still the expert. For payment it may vary by country but in Germany we have a big company for credit scores that everybody uses and if somebody doesn't pay you can hire a debt collector and that can negatively affect their score in the end. It costs a bit of money as well but is not as bothersome as suing.

@MalewiczHype 3 ай бұрын

The "not asking for feedback" is more of a metaphor on how to phrase it - as obviously there's business related feedback.
