Listening is the first thing a designer should learn.

It’s not enough that you have web design skills, you also will need to have customer handling skills, if you want to become a successful web designer. Here’s what you ought to learn:

• You need to listen to what the client needs
• You need to ask targeted questions: about the clients’ business, about what exactly the website is for (e-commerce site, marketing, advertising, informative or complex)
• You will need to get prepared to make a website that’s compatible with all sorts of smart devices. This may cost a little bit more but it’s a must.
• You will need to be kind, attentive and always honest, when it comes to the client’s needs.
• If the client has some extreme expectations, be understanding however firm when letting them know what’s possible and what’s not possible to be done.
• Offer several choices of website templates but not more than 2 templates. It’s the easiest choice to choose the better one out of 2 choices only, more choices would confuse the clients.
