Being an entrepreneur of any kind is an incredibly rewarding and challenging job. You have to juggle a variety of tasks on any given day and make sure that everything runs smoothly.
Here is an overview of what a typical day looks like in the web design industry.
The life of a web design entrepreneur is a busy one, full of creative problem solving, design, researching new technologies, photography, video editing, client meetings, and testing website functionality.
The morning always starts by checking emails and responding to any inquiries. We then review our current website builds and prioritize which sites need updating or additional design work. After that, we dive into the projects, putting our skills into action to design a website that meets the client’s needs and expectations.
Throughout the day, we'll design graphics, adjust text styles, tweak page layouts, and test the website across different browsers and devices. It is crucial that any website looks great and functions well on a user's desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or mobile device.
We also need to coordinate meetings with clients and potential clients along with scheduling photo and video shoots for the websites we are working on currently. We always have to be prepared to discuss the details of our projects and explain the process in which we plan to complete them.
At the end of the day, we will wrap up our work, making sure everything is working properly and looks as expected on the sites we've recently published. We'll provide updates to our clients and check in to make sure we've addressed their needs.
No two days in the life of a web design entrepreneur are identical, but the goal is always the same: to create stunning, modern websites and provide top notch customer service.
It’s a challenging but rewarding job that requires plenty of skill, patience, creativity, dedication and of course, caffeine. ☕️
