Mind Reading for Web Designers
January 13, 2012
After days of sweating, swearing and panting, your proud Photoshop installation gives birth to a beautiful baby web. Instead of bursting with awe and promising more web project work to come, Mr. Jekyll - your favorite client - turns into Mr. Hyde and rejects your web design.
Yesterday's funny cartoon: not so funny today, because it happened to you (again). Now you have another disillusioned client and a few more days of expensive, unbillable work ahead of you. You wish you possessed the power of reading your clients' mind, so that next time you could nail the web design the first time around.
If you're a web designer or a project manager, I can imagine you nodding your head at the scenario above. If you're struggling with having your first web design proposal accepted by the client without additional work or a total bloody makeover, you should read my book "Mind Reading for Web Designers". In it, I'm going to show and tell everything I've learned about reading clients' minds in my 10+ years experience of running a web development company. Among hundreds of websites we launched, I can only find a few cases of a client taking advantage of our "satisfied-or-money-back" guarantee. I have acquired unique skills and shameless yet ethical techniques that help me deal with clients of all flavors. I'm ready to give my knowledge back to the community. I hope to help ease the stress and the frustration of less experienced, yet equally ambitious and talented web professionals, such as myself.
Hopefully you would like to know more about this topic. The bad news is: This is my first book, and it's far from being (self)-published. My plan is to put it on amazon.com by the end of 2012. I'm counting on the Universe to have accepted my order. The good news is that you can circle me on Google+ or follow me on Twitter right now, and I'll be happy to answer your questions about getting your creative web design work accepted. My background is project management and sales, and I co-founded an internet agency, so you can AMA about running a web development business.
Dignity is for the unpublished. That's why I'm gonna flat out ask you right now - if you agree that web designers deserve less stress and more free time - to please please share this post with your audience across all your channels, or with anyone you think could benefit from reading my upcoming book. Thank you, and I promise I'm gonna make the book worth all your while!
