Even though clients aren\u2019t always familiar with these strategies, the designer can help them understand their value rather than outright dismiss any feedback or personal preferences that go against them.\u00a0<\/p><p>In this way, the web design process becomes much more collaborative.\u00a0<\/p><p>The client is invited to take part in the process, educating the designer on the kinds of aesthetics and content that make sense for their brand. The designer then takes the input and decides how best to apply it to the website.\u00a0<\/p><p>While the client\u2019s vision is important, it can\u2019t blindly be implemented if it violates the rules of good web design or user experience. And it\u2019s the designer\u2019s job to make this decision and then explain the reasoning behind it \u2014 in the simplest of terms \u2014 so the client can get onboard with it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f6f0cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"1f6f0cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"collecting-feedback-throughout-the-project\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8400df6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8400df6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Collecting Feedback Throughout the Project Can Reduce Scope Creep<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0703374 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0703374\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Designers aren\u2019t always going to nail a client\u2019s vision the first or even second time around. Imagine what that would do to the timeline or budget if feedback wasn\u2019t collected until the entire website had been built.\u00a0<\/p><p>One thing a designer can do is bring the client into the project as early as possible. By showing them sketches and wireframes of the site early on, the client\u2019s feedback can help a designer get closer and closer to the client\u2019s vision before the real design work begins.\u00a0<\/p><p>The designer should then loop in the client at various project milestones to gather feedback. Not only will this keep revision rounds more manageable, but this also enables web designers to keep better control over the pace of the project.\u00a0<\/p><p>When designers view feedback as part of their process, it\u2019s something they can plan for upfront. When creating client contracts and scope of work agreements, designers can factor in feedback and revision rounds as part of the budget and timelines.\u00a0<\/p><p>Unless something goes wrong or an external emergency pops up, <a href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/blog\/scope-creep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scope creep<\/a> shouldn\u2019t even enter the picture.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c2e75c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"c2e75c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"healthy-communication\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77b2d7b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"77b2d7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Healthy Client-Designer Communication Makes for a Better Process<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95de352 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"95de352\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A healthy and productive approach to giving and receiving feedback can make a world of difference for everyone involved in a web design project.\u00a0<\/p><p>Without it, it\u2019s easy for a lot of bad feelings to swirl around.

You should be discussing it with your client before they ever <strong>become<\/strong> your client.\u00a0<\/p><p>When putting together your <a href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/blog\/web-design-contract\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">web design contract<\/a> and scope of work (SOW), make sure you lay out all the details related to feedback. By setting the right expectations from the start, your clients will be well-prepared to give their input once the job gets started.\u00a0<\/p><p>Here are some areas where you can address feedback in your paperwork:\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Project timeline and milestones<\/strong><\/p><p>Add feedback stages at critical parts of the process, like after you <a href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/blog\/web-design-style-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">create the style guide<\/a> or when the prototypes are ready.\u00a0<\/p><p>Assign dates to them so the client can add them to their calendar and be prepared to provide their feedback on time.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Number of revisions<\/strong><\/p><p>It\u2019s very unlikely you\u2019ll work on a web design project and not receive any feedback or revision requests. In anticipation of this, set a maximum number of revisions allowed at each stage.\u00a0<\/p><p>It\u2019s also a good idea to stipulate how long the client has to provide feedback. This way, if they drop the ball, you\u2019ll have a process in place to deal with it. Either you put the project on hold until they provide feedback <strong>or<\/strong> you take their silence as approval and move onto the next step.<\/p><p><strong>Scope of work<\/strong><\/p><p>Make sure you clearly break down the scope of the project. If any of your client\u2019s feedback or requests exceed the original scope, you can point them to the signed SOW.<\/p><p>If they expand the scope, include a clause that explains what happens next. It\u2019s not fair to you (or your other clients) to take on extra work for free or to take up more time than was allotted for the project. So you\u2019ll need to stipulate how the project cost and delivery date will change.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5e175a elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"e5e175a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"ask-about-the-clients-design-preferences-during-onboarding\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28c51f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"28c51f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.

In addition to the login credentials, logos and assets, don&#8217;t forget to ask about their design preferences (with examples of websites they like, if you can get them).\u00a0<\/p><p>Something else you might do is interview your client during onboarding.\u00a0<\/p><p>To prepare for this, you should create a goals quiz that includes questions related to the client&#8217;s brand, design preferences, and business goals&#8230;\u00a0<\/p><p>The interview\/quiz is a great option since it sets the stage for your collaborative relationship right from the get-go.

Another client might write never-ending emails with bullet points of everything they want fixed. Another might call you and rattle off a list of their changes every time they have feedback.\u00a0<\/p><p>A better way to do this is to give clients a visual feedback platform where they can mark up the UI. <a href=\"https:\/\/bugherd.com\/\">BugHerd<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/\">Usersnap<\/a> are both easy to use and should come with a minimal learning curve for your clients.
