1. Do paper work; Put your ideas on paper first start sketching a top level
frameworkSketching basic wires will help you to resolve UX problems and to structure the layout.2. Adding a gridIt will structure the layout of the different sections and guide you the specific screen sizerequirements, and help you to create responsive templates.3. Choose your typography (fonts) don’t use more than two fonts.Choose a font that is easy to read for long amount of text.4. Select your color theme.Use a limited set of colors and tones.5. Divide the structure of layoutThe simpler the structure of the site, the easier it is for users to navigateThe layout needs to help the content highlighting what are the most important pieces in thatpage. And add necessary components.6. Design every page as it is a design contestEach Web Design component needs to be designed as it could stand alone as the best componentever. Sometimes designers leave some parts of a site last on their to-do list and show littlerespect to them at the end.7. Sharpen your workTo avoid blurry pixels, try to set the right contrast between strokes and background orbackground colors.8. Use Photoshop in Web design.This is (along with the use of a grid) advice when designing with Photoshop. Despite the size ofthe project and the number of designers working on it, you need to keep your files clean. Thiswill make it easier to export different sections, to speed-up the design process and to work withshared files with other designers.9. Design the best case scenario but prepare for the worstWe need to build a site that can work not only in the ideal scenario, but also in the worst-casescenario. For instance a user could be using a really small screen and check the site when there isbarely any content on it so it looks broken.10. Avoid spending too much time on a concept before sharing it with the client.First prepare a design and ensure client is satisfied with it or not. If they agree done.But if after presenting the first concept and the client don’t fall in love with it, you should gatherenough feedback to bring a second more appropriate concept to the table.11 Be your developer's best friendWeb Developers are creative people and they love their jobs as much as you do. But they are notalways included in a project from the very beginning and often times only get involved when theconcept is decided and their creative role has been overridden. This process is wrong; some ofthe best ideas come from the development team, so make sure you team up with them from thevery beginning of the project. Sharing your concepts and excitement with them will lead to betterideas and a better execution in the end.12. Presentations: Very simple that common man understands it easier.Presentation is very important in designing. Your best design can be ignored or thrown away ifyou don't present it properly. Always keep in mind that what is totally clear to you might not bethat clear to somebody seeing your design for the first time.14. Love each of your ideas but don't get too attached to themWhen your team or client doesn't see them as 'the one'. As a designer you need to believe firmlyin what you do, but you should also be open to quickly turning over that idea and coming up withsomething else. Don't forget that there is more than one unique solution.
