Top 10 Questions You Ask Your Clients Before a Project
Other than “How are you?” and “Would you like to join me for lunch?”, what are the top 10 questions you would ask your clients before a project begins? Getting the right information for a client’s project is crucial to its success and building a better business relationship with your client. Asking relevant but ineffective questions will waste time and worst scenario, annoy your client.
I’ve not found our real top 10 but I think we’re getting very near it. In 10 questions, we learn about our clients background, their behaviour, their customers and the requirements for the project. Aren’t you curious what we ask our clients?

Why I Like Veerle Pieters
Digital Web Magazine recently interviewed Veerle Pieters and I really liked some of the answers over there. I liked it so much that I want to share it here and remind myself as well as any designer they should be proud to be a designer whether or not others respect them as one in Malaysia.
Veerle who runs duoh! and her own personal blog is one of the celebrities in website design who designs very well and supports website standards as well. She’s spoken at two SXSW conferences sharing her insight and giving words of advice to other budding website designers. Without further due, I’ll tell you why I like Veerle Pieters after reading the interview.

The User, The Expectation, and The Control
Starring as the user we have world reknown Bob, and co-starring along his side are the expectation and the control.

New Straits Times Creates Monster Blog
I might actually be the last to know here but while flipping through my daily NST today, I discovered hidden in the corner a small visual of a local minister being in a Podcast. When I first saw this I thought if it were a local or international blog but then noticed the local .com.my domain to the URL.

Microsoft Expression for Website Designers
When designers say Adobe others will say Photoshop or Illustrator. When website designers say Macromedia (acquired by Adobe in 2005) we’ll say Dreamweaver or Flash. If you said Microsoft to a clerk or an accountant, they’ll say Word, Excel or Powerpoint. But what happens when Microsoft decides to become like Photoshop or Macromedia?
You get the Microsoft Expression applications aimed at graphic designers, interactive designers, website designers and yes, I said de-sign-ers. The introduction of these new applications aimed at professionals might be the replacements of Frontpage and Paint. You also may download the free trial availabe for either one at their website.
