5. Read about Web Design Process article above and write what you think about it (at least 150 words).
Many people read and commented about this article and responses to it are interesting.For me, I find that this article is very good in a way that it gives the basic idea on how a web strategist is like.In whatever we do under web design,we require lots of thinking.Not only do we have to think,we have to create webpage that has all the requirements that is needed from the client.After all the cracking up of ideas,we have to seek for the client’s approval.Then, we can proceed on to do the webpage plus more testings and modifications to be done along the way.I guess those who are really very very interested in being a web strategist or web designer,they really need alot of patients and need to work on a very fast-paced environment because i dont think they can afford to lose any clients in any way.Overall, I think that this article is really a good one as it shows us step by step how hard it is to be designing a web page for a client with all their needs and all the things that we have to do in order to make clients come back for more business with us.
