Tip for freelancers and Clients going to hire freelancers

Having a good order brief makes ALL the difference!

For all web design clients looking for freelancers, please do yourself (and your chosen freelancer) a favor by creating a clear and concise order brief.

It helps us understand your vision, budget, timeline, and specific needs. This leads to:

✅ Better communication: Less back-and-forth, more focused collaboration.
✅ Fewer revisions: Reduced risk of missed expectations and rework.
✅ Smoother project flow: Everything runs smoothly from start to finish.

If I were your freelancer I would need the following in your order brief

  1. Project Overview:

✅ Project Name:
✅ Company Name:
✅ Website URL (if applicable):
✅ Project Description: Briefly summarize your project goals and desired outcomes.

  1. Target Audience:

✅ Who are you trying to reach with your website?
✅ What are their needs and expectations?

  1. Functionality Requirements:

✅ What features and functionality do you need on your website?
✅ Are there any specific integrations or plugins you require?

  1. Design Preferences:

✅ Do you have any specific design styles or references in mind?

// Side Note: let the designer make colors, fonts, and overall aesthetic decisions don't micro-manage if he's the expert Let him cook.

  1. Budget and Timeline:

✅ What is your estimated budget for this project?
✅ What is your desired timeline for completion?

  1. Content: ✅ Do you have any existing content that can be used? ✅ What additional content needs to be created?

Bonus:
Include any relevant examples of websites you like for inspiration.
Remember: The more detailed your order brief, the better equipped your freelancer will be to deliver a website that exceeds your expectations.
Let's make web design projects a success for everyone!
