Who am I?
I am a tech enthusiast, and I aspire to create my own digital start-up one day. It has been quite a long journey since my graduation in 2018. As a child, I was interested in reading stories, particularly Science Fiction and Fantasy.
One of my favourite classes was computer class, where I learnt programming. I used to find time to read and write stories despite a busy schedule, and it was this urge to spread my thoughts which led me to create an account on Booksie.com, by the penname Silgorious.
On seeing the user engagement levels on Booksie, I was tempted to create a website for kids’ stories. But I was stuck for 2 years on a managed WordPress hosting plan which didn’t offer much.
On top of that, I did not get much time to work on the website, and was not aware of the features that were required for a website, like SSL, etc. As my hosting was about to end, I did extensive research and understood a lot about websites and web design.
How do you work, Nadeem?
My Workflow
I always follow specific steps when I’m working on a design project. In this way I can keep everything organised and it creates moments to talk about the project with my clients.
In the first part of the project I mostly ask questions and talk with my clients about what they want. I want to get a super clear picture of what they want and need. Only then can I deliver a product that both parties are happy with.
After I have a rough enough understanding of the client’s needs and wants I can start designing the first part of the website.
When it’s a big project I always start with wireframing. This is the process where I design in grey, without using colours, images and styling options. Then I share this design with my client and when they agreed I continue with the visual design. This is where I will add details and make it come to live.
When the design is done and my client is happy with the final design I go on with installing WordPress and all the plugins that I need for the project.
Then I will start creating the pages one by one and send my client preview links along the process. This makes it easy to get feedback for me and assures my client that they get the things that they want.
After all the pages are developed inside of WordPress I share a final preview link to my client. We will look at the result and edit any detail to make the website perfect. After a final check I will put the website live and give it the necessary optimisation for Google.
What do I use?
Software
I like to use the latest software for my projects, so I know there is nothing better to use for my clients. These are the platforms that I use on a regular basis.
