Sometimes i wish i didn't care about the details and Quality, so i can deliver websites faster.

Using templates would also help, but i just👏🏽 can't 👏🏽do it

💯 this is one of the most difficult aspect to deal with, because it requires 'finesse' to desp with.
Also a direct result of n° 2, lack of clarity

Don’t rush to take on a 'simple' project—ask the right questions to uncover the true scope. Clarity leads to success.

5. Potential for Scope Creep: What starts as a "simple" project can often expand in scope, leading to challenges in timelines and costs.

4. Limited Features: The term may suggest that the client is not considering essential features like user experience, mobile responsiveness, SEO, and ongoing maintenance.

3. **Budget Constraints**: Clients using this term might be looking for a lower budget or might not appreciate the value of professional design and development, which can lead to compromising quality.

2. Lack of Clarity: It may indicate that the client hasn’t fully articulated their needs or goals. A lack of detail can lead to misalignment in expectations.

1. Underestimation of Complexity: The phrase "simple website" often reflects a misunderstanding of the complexities involved in web design. Even seemingly straightforward sites require careful planning and design.

Usually hearing a potential cliente go "it's just a simple website, nothing complicated" means a 🚩.
But what is that? Why people down play the work and effort behind a wed development?

Make your website "at-home good." Ensure that the experience of using your website is as good as, or better than, the initial impression it creates. Focus on usability, clear navigation, and valuable content.

Whatever you do, showcase your expertise. Clearly articulate your niche, skills, and experience on your website. Use case studies, testimonials, and thought leadership content to build credibility.
Never let tthe user guessing, or leaving space for the visitors to draw their own conlusions.

This is super important when dealing with clients: Establish clear rules of engagement. This ensures both parties understand how you'll work together and prevents clients from dictating the process.

Believe me , you don't want that.

If you're a freelancer or have a biz, control the engagement. Don't be afraid to lead and set the terms. You're hired for your expertise, not just your service. This should be reflected in your website and marketing materials as well.

Believe in yourself.
Leave nothing to chance.

Look, positioning is about strategy, articulation, and proof. Choose your focus, articulate your expertise clearly (especially on your website), and invest in developing the skills and processes to back up your claims. This is your fundamental business strategy.

Thank me later!

i know and i also understand they have their place...i just need to vent 😅

Components or integrations; the world doesn't need anymore templates 😪

There's a lot of debate on this topic, wo i will say this: specialization is key, avoid being a generalist. Instead, focus on a specific niche where you can develop deep expertise. This will differentiate you from competitors and give you more power in client relationships.

Awesome! Very close to Mare Nubium... And about 1.200 i'm south of copernicus, one of my favorites 🤓

Actual moon data? Cool
Where does one start in the moon?

It's hilarious how every other LLM grovels for forgiveness when they mess up, but #Perplexity? Nah, that bot doesn't give a rat's ass if you like its answer or not. It just spits out another one, like it's business as usual 😅

Love how the internet has 2 types of takes about literally EVERYTHING:
'This habit/product/service changed my life!'
vs
'This habit/product/service is the worst thing ever!'

At some point you just gotta trust yout gut, experiment and find what works for YOU. don't be afraid of failure.

Heads up: your website can't be accesed

Tip: of you're a freelancer or an agency and you offer web design services, DON'T present your work solely as projects; you're not selling UX services.

Just👏🏽show👏🏽the👏🏽damn👏🏽website👏🏽you 👏🏽Made

If you still want to show the process, provide clear navigation to the actual thing.
