question for website designers..

    Hi,
    This is a question for website designers.

    When you are contacted for a website design , how do you finalise a templet with the client?

    Don't get me wrong but I have worked for only 5 projects yet as I am pretty new to this business and those people didn't know much about how should they present their website , so I made a templet for them and they liked it but this is not the case with all clients . So how do you guys do it ?

    Thanks
    Jeet

    get them to sketch out a design on paper and send you a copy so you know what they want then do some basic sample templates and see what they think.

    you could also show them some other templates you've pre-made or made for others and see if they like any.

    unless of course you live locally and can meet in person.
    But sketch on paper works for me, and get them to install msn or similar so ya can keep up 2 date and havnt gotta wait for emails to be sent/recieved

    If you don't do alot of local business, then I would suggest getting them to use Word or Paint. Faster and easier for both or you, but possibly less accurate.

    What about clients in a different country ?
    It would get difficult there ...
