Design Tips

If you have a great idea for a social network make it a reality. Find a company capable of tackling an interactive website with social features? The first step is evaluating if your design company has what it takes to design this type of site. Houses aren't built with hammers anymore a pneumatic nail gun is the tool used these days. If you don't have the right tools don't waste your time and money with the attempt.

I recommend avoiding the use of a freelancer for these projects. Find a design company who is upfront about their experience level if your budget is very small you may want to give a small company a chance and pay a steeply discounted price since they'll be learning as they go. Don't tackle the project with a company that doesn't believe in your concept. If it's a go gather your tools and prepare for the job.

The tools a graphic designer, front end developer, back end developer and a project manager are the absolutely essential tools. If you don't have a team of four don't even attempt it. The first step is to nail down all the features you want within the website, social and otherwise. Each feature needs to be outlined in a project agreement. You trust the your designer and don't need a project agreement? WRONG! The agreement keeps the project and you on track if you don't have it the site tends to end up all over the place. Outline each stage of the design process within the proposal with client sign offs at each step, the design company should prepare this for you. First the graphics, then the functionality, then product testing and the website launch.

This is a basic guide get anyone with a great idea started down the road. Get out there with some non disclosure agreements and talk to some professionals about your concept. Follow these guidelines and and insist on a design agreement when the time comes.
