Web Designing
& Development
Consideration and
Approach
Being a web designer takes thinking, feeling, and acting like a designer. I’ve been reflecting on what it means to be designerly, and by using six such skills and behaviors, I can achieve the best results in my projects.
01/ RESEARCH AND DISCOVERY
To start any project, I delve deep into research to understand the client’s needs, target audience, and industry trends. Adapting the first rule of design, my approach involves conducting comprehensive research and user interviews to gather insights and ensure the design aligns with the client’s vision and user expectations.

- Market Analysis
- Competitive Analysis
02/ PLANNING AND STRATEGY
With the insights gathered, I create a detailed plan and strategy for the project. This phase involves defining the project scope, setting goals, and creating a roadmap. I ensure that the plan is aligned with the client’s objectives and provides a clear direction for the project.

03/ WIREFRAMING AND PROTOTYPING
Before diving into the design, I create wireframes and prototypes to visualize the layout and functionality of the website. This step allows me to experiment with different structures and user flows, ensuring that the design is intuitive and user-friendly.

- Prototyping
- User Experience (UX) Design
04/ DESIGN AND STYLING
At this stage, I bring the project to life with visually appealing designs. Using tools like Adobe Creative Suite and Figma, I craft responsive and aesthetically pleasing designs that reflect the client’s brand identity.
