How to be strategic for design clients & why

by

The most successful designers aren’t just creative in their client projects.

They’re strategic.

Being strategic for our clients as designers doesn’t mean becoming corporate or overcomplicated.

It means making deliberate choices when working with our clients that’ll help their business in a much more personalised, and thoughtful way.

Watch the live panel replay – strategy for our design clients

I recently hosted a live speaker panel during the Women of Web Summit with four brilliant web professionals from around the world.

We talked about how to be strategic for our design clientsΒ – the real, behind-the-scenes stuff you don’t always hear about.

You might watch the reply below, and realise that you’re already naturally offering strategy to your clients (and not acknowledging that gold in your prices and packages!).

Incorporating more strategy for your clients in your design or web business is much easier than it sounds, and it’s truthfully priceless.

Offering personalised strategy with your very own unique human-touch is what will set you apart as a designer.

Grab a cuppa, hit play, and soak up all the goodness we share on this call!

You’ll walk away with ideas you can start using today to better help your clients, and set yourself apart as a designer.
