10 Reasons Your New Website Won’t Launch Today (Repost)

Posted by: Eric Key in websitesweb design on

Designing and launching a website can be a pain, even when managed correctly.

Here's 10 reasons your site won't be launched today.....

  1. The changes you sent to the design brief on Wednesday
  2. The 150 images you sent to us yesterday
  3. The text you sent to us Tuesday.... in the post..... er, on paper
  4. This is the first time your boss has seen it?
  5. You never told us all your organisation used IE4
  6. Yes, as we mentioned, 1024×768 won't fit on your bosses smaller screen
  7. What do you mean your logo is changing
  8. So you've actually not got any content ready for sections 3,4,5,6 and 7?
  9. Ah..... so you want sections 3,4,5 and 7 removed from the navigation....
  10. The guy who controls your domain is leaving early today?

The list could go on...... good communication is paramount when developing any website. It's a learning process, and you hopefully can only get better at it with time and experience.

I'm going to lay down in my next post what things a web designer should make clear to their client and get agreements on when developing any website.
