How Web Design Companies can benefit from teaching their Clients how to do their Job!


As professionals we need to be prepared for all kinds of challenges. Such as working with limited resources, obsolete tools and even unreasonable clients. When dealing with clients we should always remember that they can be either one of the two:-
-         Clients with too much money but very little time.
-         Clients with very little money but lots of time.
Ideally, web design companies  should be able to deal with both kinds (even if one is more preferable the other) and no business opportunity can be turned away.

Clients with Money and Very Little Time:-
These clients are the most fun to work with. They simply tell you the problem and let you work on it using whatever tools and techniques you fancy. Their only concern is the finished product and the bill. Naturally, these clients agree to whatever design decisions you have taken and are generally very accepting.

Client with Little Money and lots of time:-
The real problem lies with these clients as they are willing to sacrifice important features of your project for their own pathetic DIY skills to save money. For example, they may choose not use your email template for the one they created themselves using MS Word. Web design companies  fear that their creation might be undermined when such DIYs come into play.
As a solution, web design companies should try to create small templates and features that the client may use to avoid ruining their design. It might not cost much but it will significantly improve your reputation.
