Whether it’s from your Project Manager or a business client, there’s nothing worse for a Web Designer than receiving the kind of feedback that not only bruises your ego but adds nothing constructive to the job in hand.
So here’s a list of responses that can turn bad vibes to best results whenever the World pushes your buttons!
Can you make it look like this?
As a pro you never want to be asked to plagiarise another site to create a poor copy.
Rather than launching your screen out the window, however, ask which particular elements of this favourite site they’d like incorporated . . . then point out all the areas of masterful originality in your own plan.
Is that the final look? I just don’t like it.
Deeeeep breath. You’re a professional. You can handle this.
Rather than wasting time addressing vague criticism, ask your Project Manager, or the client if you are dealing with them direct, to be more specific.
Is it the banner colour, the font, the integrations?
The more focus you can get and the earlier you can get it, the fewer revisions will be needed and the easier life will be for everyone.
About my changes . . . we’re still on deadline aren’t we?
Setting out a timeframe right at the start of a project, then sticking to it, is paramount to making everyone happy.
You know how long a project will take you, so make sure your Manager or client does too and underline the fact that extra changes will mean extended deadlines.
That way, if this question should arise when you’re being asked to factor in yet more ‘feedback’, you can politely point out the extension rule is now in force.
