7 Struggles Every Web Designer Faces in Their Career

The industry of web designing is a creative one. Most people love the job where they can utilize their creative endeavor and work in the field that they have the passion for.

Thus, everybody has a misconception when it comes to the job of a website designer; that, doing a job of passion is too simple and way too easy.  

But, only a designer can understand the struggle and the real pain of being a web designer; no one else can.

The stress to manufacture the original ideas, which has 99.99% chances of being rejected by the client and the pressure of completing the task before the deadline even by doing hundreds of revisions. Yes, a web designer’s life is tough!!

So, for whatever reasons you have decided on becoming a web designer, you should analyze the struggles mentioned below before solidifying your career decision:

1.      Costly Tools and the Client’s Bargain

For the designers out there, who believe in bringing out the best in web designs, the designing experience becomes expensive with the premium tools available in the market. Because of this, taking in cheap projects becomes a dilemma.

Especially, when the client bargains way too much, the fear of losing the client might make you lower your standard and come down to their terms.

But, the best advice for you is to walk away from the projects that don’t do any good for you. Instead of investing your time and money on the cheap project, you can gain much better money if you wait for some good paying clients.

2.      Endless Design Revisions

Every designer understands how fussy clients can be.

Even when you dedicate yourself fully to design a project, and come out with the most reasonable design, they might still question ‘what about this’ and ‘how about that’ of the design.

Ultimately, you will have to change it.

Ugh!!!  

Well, your clients are perhaps the businessmen and businesswomen who have little or no knowledge of web design principles. They don’t know why you did what you did.

So, the simple solution to this issue would be to teach them.

This might sound crazy to you and you might be short on your time. If such, you can at least dedicate a few minutes or so to provide the detailed reasoning before getting started on the presentation. This way, you prevent yourself from wasting unnecessary time on revisions later on.
