How to be THE BEST WEB DESIGNER in the
world @htmlboy & @martuishere
How to be A GOOD WEB DESIGNER everyday
How to be A DECENT WEB DESIGNER most of the
time
DEAL WITH WEB STUFF How to and still be kinda
happy
None
Accounting. Finding clients. Talking to clients. Getting paid.
Frustration.
Why us?
swwweet.com
Web design is a bumpy road.
So, what can we do?
Innovation. Constraints. Clients. Yourself.
INNOVATION Dealing with
None
Information Fatigue Syndrome
Poor concentration. Polyphasic behaviour. Hurry sickness. Pervasive hostility. Over stimulation.
“Plugged in” compulsion. Good ol’ stress.
Let someone else do the hard work.

Don’t read everything.
None
Paradox of Choice
flic.kr/p/dxKZiS
Only try one new thing at a time.
Dedicate a few hours a week to self-improvement.
Go to conferences!
CONSTRAINTS Dealing with
Understand the limitations of the project.
How to research with a low budget?
Not all researches are equal.
How do you test with a low budget?
Test with strangers at coffee shops.
www.usertesting.com
How do you worry about performance with a low
budget?
flic.kr/p/cfQwL7
OpenDeviceLab.com
Ask your friends & family for old devices.
“I need a site similar to Amazon in 2 weeks.
Can you do that?”
None
Time and budget constraints go both ways.
(Minimum Viable Product) MVP
(Minimum Decent Result) MDR
Make sure that the client is on board with
your way of designing.
Don’t break your design process.
CLIENTS Dealing with
How to find clients?
Cold email. Advertising. Partnerships. Referrals.
Put yourself out there. Be active in the web
design community.
Protect yourself at all times.
gist.github.com/maban/6098135
Scope. Cancellation policies. Terms of payment. Liabilities.
Consider working in design sprints.
the-pastry-box-project.net/andrew-clarke/2012-may-13
project sprint #1 sprint #2 sprint #3 sprint #4 sprint
#5 sprint #6
sprint #1 sprint #2 sprint #3 work order invoice work
order invoice work order invoice
But, how do you sell this to clients?
Clients don’t usually have a closed mindset.
Allow some room for flexibility.
project sprint #1 sprint #2 sprint #3 sprint #4 sprint
#5 sprint #6
project sprint #1 sprint #2 sprint #3 sprint #4 sprint
#5 sprint #6
YOURSELF Dealing with
Know what you like, and what you don’t like.
Delegate tasks.
flic.kr/p/8SfWMu
Hiring is not wasting.
Hating your job causes the same mental disorders as being
unemployed.
Do not delegate your main selling point.
Professional quality and ethical values must be part of
the MDR.
Don’t work (only) for money.
stuffandnonsense.co.uk/ethics
You want to be proud of your work.
You want to not be ashamed of your work.
Working against your ethical values causes too much stress &
frustration.
None
BETTER WEB DESIGNERS So, how do we try to be
and enjoy ourselves?
None
HONEST Best thing is being with everything we do.
THANKS! @htmlboy & @martuishere
