My First Design Challenge
Hi All,
I am heading into the first time i really have had any sort of challenge to do some design above really a basic layout for a website. Pretty much the sum total of my previous design experience has been using CMS framework and applying templates, making just a few small changes to add or remove things that i needed or did not need.
While this has worked well for me, the one person i have done a website for has been happy with the site for a while and has started to find that some of his competition are starting to make their sites more interesting and and not so straight forward. While i want to continue looking after the site for this person i would like to get some point of views from everyone.
I have been shown three sites that he likes from his competitors, while one i think is worse, (terrible color choices). The other two would mean that i need to really spend some time to build my skills to be able to do something comparable.
Do you think it is worth spending the time learning more about design, for one case that i am not charging with the potential then i guess to start doing more work and charging for it, or maybe is it time to bite the bullet and say it is out of my depth. While i want to learn i have no idea where to start.
