Designing or Developing: Why such a high probability of failure?

Most of new web designers and web developers think they can simply open up Dreamweaver and start coding CSS and HTML. The moment you start coding without planning, basically you are making sure that your design looks unprofessional. You should know how to use these tools and yes you should be quick in using shortcuts and any other enhanced features to get yourself organised and get your design or website rolling in less time however success depends on a lot more factors. Most important of those factors is planning. Planning is most of the time more than 80 percent of work.

Planning:

I have included a couple of videos emphasising on importance of planning here. These are not kind of moral lectures but they show you how to create a wireframe and how it can boost your design skills. Ok lets roll it out.

Well Here’s another one showing exactly how its done.

So now you know how its done all you have to do is wait for your next project or design. Do practice it on small projects. The misconception that if your client is small you don’t plan and just do something that is quick and dirty solution. This ruins reputation which is hard earned if you know what I mean.

Do we need anything else than planning. Maybe you can have a look at some tools for making wireframes.

If you plan and do it properly it will have high probability of success. I am keeping this post short just so people can get the idea of what I am talking about.
