So what’s next?
July 22nd, 2008
If you’ve followed the re-design series, you know that we’ve covered branding for small businesses, and planning a web design project.
After interviewing Jason Santa Maria, I was left wondering, who should I interview next? Or more — should there be further interviews, or should I just build the site already?
The areas where I needed the most help was in branding and learning what it is I do as a freelance designer. I can say I was succesful in getting the answers I needed to move into the design phase.
I’m very sure at this point that I want to get this new site launched soon, so instead of further interviews on web design and development, I’m going to focus on actually designing the site. I’ll still blog about the progress, and I’m pretty sure that I’ll produce some tutorials on prototyping, mockups and creating XHTML/CSS for the ExpressionEngine build.
Once I’m over this small bump of client work, I’ll begin with what inspires me and where I want to go next.
Oh, and I’ll still be doing the web design podcast over at CreativeXpert.com!

Build the site already! The great thing about the web is that it allows us to learn as we go along. If we are observant, we can spot mistakes and fix them quickly. It doesn’t matter how much planning goes into this, the site at launch will never be perfect. It’s better to put it out there and let your market tell you what needs to be improved.
Good luck!

Thanks for your comment, and I agree. While planning has been an important issue, available time to actually design and build the site has been an issue. I’m on it now.
