Your brand is your company name, logo design , colours, voice, and everything else that makes up your company image.

Among the many misconceptions about running a freelance web design business is the idea that you should sign up for every project that comes your way. Whether you’re working full-time or building websites on the side, it’s easy to think that all opportunities are worthy. And after all, money is money.

When you work on web design projects for clients, you’ll always have ideas for how they can make their project better. Of course, clients tend to be picky and specific about what they want and often reject suggestions. These rejections aren’t personal. Even the highest paid, most sought-after web designers get their expert suggestions rejected. These rejections don’t feel good and can make you stop making suggestions altogether.

One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
