How to handle surprise changes within the project πŸ˜ŒπŸ™Œ

Web development field has been growing over time, the community frequently contributes and strengthens new and early technological generations, each person, each taste is divided into back or front, each a fundamental part of the other, darkness and light as fundamental as the same existence.

If you do front-end development, you must understand that the needs that are established by the design team are the most important to guarantee a correct, excellent and primordial user experience providing clear contents and designs that fit the requirements. This seems easy and as end users or consumers we usually categorize the pages depending on its design and web usability, which includes the ease with which a user navigates through a website; to achieve this you must build a simple, intuitive and fluid navigation. It is even possible to say that it is of little use to have a good design if the texts are very long or not very explanatory.

For those who are independent developers, whose approach to the client is constant and who do not have any knowledge of the design or internal functioning of a website, do not despair, they want both the project they commissioned and their tastes to be reflected in the website they want. The changes they will ask you for as the project develops will increase, some changes will be simple while others will be tedious and unnecessary, in these cases patience will be a great companion, try to mitigate, if not eliminate, the discussions that arise from changes in functionality and design, either by color, by position, by size, and so on. This type of changes will be present throughout the life cycle of the project.

I can assure you that those moments will be very impertinent, but that is why must be clear from start to end, explaining to the client in a common way the steps that you are going to follow, the life cycle that you will carry in the project, showing him periodic progress and letting them know what you are going to develop after showing what you already achieved. It is important to establish documents where you specify how you will design the page (look and feel) so the client knows how it will look at the end, that way, your process will be very comfortable. Do not be impatient, at the beginning this can be annoying, but it will help you build a skill that will increase your professional capacity.

Go for it!πŸ˜‰
