Every skill is 90% something else. Cooking is 90% chopping food. Sewing is 90% ironing. In the same vein, a successful digital project is 90% communication.
The real story of success happens behind the scenes, in the “soft skills” that guide a project from a vague idea to a polished reality. My experience as a freelance digital designer and front-end developer has taught me that these skills are just as important as the design or code itself.
They are what turn a transaction into a partnership and a project into a success story.
Clear and transparent communication
Communication is more than just an email. It’s about being clear and making sure we are all on the same page.
Technical people are quite famous for speaking using technical words. My goal is to speak in a way that anyone would understand.
Active listening
A successful project starts with me truly understanding your goals. I’ll ask a lot of questions—about your vision, your business, and your customers—to ensure we’re building the right solution, not just the one you asked for.
This will be helpful to define the scope. This protects both of us by ensuring that we’re aligned on what we’re building and what constitutes a “finished” project.
Strong project management with some flexibility
Every project, big or small, has a clear beginning, middle, and end. We’ll establish a detailed timeline. This structure keeps us on track and gives you a clear view of our progress at every stage.
However things happen, and that’s okay. By communicating clearly and regularly, we can address any issues and adjust the timeline as needed.
Collaboration
You are the expert on your business and your audience. My role is to use my understanding of user experience and technical skills to bring your expertise to life and create the best design to communicate with your customers.
Your feedback will therefore always be welcome and valuable.
A successful project is built on a foundation of trust, collaboration, and ultimately on communication. It’s about a seamless experience, a shared vision, and a partnership that leads to a great result.
