How To Get Clear On Your Web Design Project Timelines
A while back I wrote about figuring out when you’re ready to work with a developer. There was a section in that post about having a clear project process. When it comes to project processes, timelines are a big part of it.
Having your timeline down and accurately scheduled will allow you to book clients in advance and do so accurately. Even though it’s not something you can sit down and do right at this moment, with a little bit of time and review, you can build an estimated project timeline to help you with booking out your calendar.

Is It Time To Outsource Development In Your Web Design Projects?
At the time of writing this post for you all, I’ve been doing development for designers specifically for about two years. And when I’m chatting with a designer about potentially teaming up, I get a lot of questions. The most common question I get is, “How do I know when it’s time to hire a developer?”
This is a concern that comes up a lot in business, no matter what you’re doing or who you’re hiring. It can be hard to know the right time to start something. Like when to use a new piece of software or when it’s time to invest in a coach.
While none of these questions have a “right” answer, I’ll do my best to help you decide if it’s time to outsource the development of your web design projects.
Create A Simple Onboarding Process For Your Web Design Clients
When it comes to a new client project, the onboarding process is the most complicated and time-consuming part of it all. There’s the initial part of deciding whether the client is a good fit, waiting for a proposal to be accepted, getting the contract signed, invoiced paid and all of the setup that comes after that.
It’s a lot to remember and work through. That’s why having a simple onboarding process for web design projects is so important. You’ve got to keep in mind though, that just because the final process is going to be simple, it doesn’t mean creating it will be.
This isn’t going to be a one-sitting setup, but I promise you, it’s 100% worth it. Take it from someone whose onboarding process used to take 5+ hours (yes, it was me).
