Managing Web Design Project

Here are articles you might want to read if you’re about to manage a web design project. Getting a well designed website created and launched takes time and practice, but if you’re working with professionals it doesn’t have to be hard.

Take the time to read these basics about web design projects and about managing them, and if they conflict at points make a note of the differences – but consider that getting more than one perspective can help you form your own opinions – not just take on whatever opinions ‘experts’ give you. Having your own experience will be the best way to learn, but if you can absorb some of the articles below you can get other people’s experience a bit first to help you formulate your approach.

(Don’t take their advice without thinking critically – many different opinions and strategies are represented here.)
