The client always comes first! Valuing the client means, above all, knowing how to listen, understanding their needs and designing a solution that meets their objectives.

With the famous Wimbledon week approaching, it seemed appropriate to bring together two unlikely worlds that, at first glance, seem so different. We wanted to show that they actually have more in common than we think.

As a project manager at a web design and development company, I am surrounded by a group of people with extraordinary artistic talents, whose mission is to create and produce beauty daily. These people, to whom we affectionately call "our creatives," are integral to our company's identity.

In an increasingly digital world, user experience (UX) design has transcended mere functionality to tap into the emotional realms of users.

When we start developing a new website, expectations are naturally ambitious. On both sides: the client, and ours, as a web design and development team. There is nothing more motivating and challenging than redesigning the old website into a more modern and up-to-date one.

As the digital world continues to evolve at a rapid pace, keeping abreast of the latest web development trends is crucial for developers, companies and technology enthusiasts in order to meet the market's ever-increasing demands in terms of digital strategy with websites and applications with improved performance, security, accessibility and conversion.

Clear and constructive feedback is essential to the success of any web design project. As a client, your input shapes the direction and outcome of your website and effective communication with the team or web designer ensures that your vision is translated into an engaging and functional digital experience, as well as achieving the results you want.

It’s the year 2000. Mobile phones still have antennas, self-respecting people all carry around a Discman, Microsoft has just launched Windows 2000, Bill Clinton is president of the United States, and Moby has captured the zeitgeist of the new millennium with Natural Blues, which plays incessantly on the radio. Meanwhile, Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland has just metamorphosed into the cult film The Matrix, and Steve Krug, our author, has just published the first edition of his book "Don't Make Me Think”.
