Design projects can be a stressful undertaking for any business, especially if you’re looking at your designs for the very first time or completing an identity rebrand. If you’ve got a custom web design project on the go and are finding the process overwhelming, here are some tips from the Kartogram team as to how you can manage your stress levels. 

1. Break the project down into smaller tasks - Thinking about your entire project at once can easily become overwhelming, so what we’d suggest is breaking down the process into smaller tasks. Custom web design products are normally composed of multiple stages and elements, so thinking about each smaller part can help when it comes to managing your time, planning your strategy, and feeling a sense of accomplishment while the wider project is still in progress. 
2. Cushion your bigger deadlines - Great work takes time, and when it comes to custom web design there are always elements that don’t go to plan the first time around. When planning your strategy, make sure you give yourself more time that you need to complete each task. Whilst it’s great to have deadlines to work towards and to use milestones to keep the momentum of your project, larger deadlines should always have extra time built in to account for unexpected delays. These deadline cushions will help to keep you on track and remain positive as you manage the ups and downs of your custom web design project. 
3. Work with a design agency - If our first two tips don’t completely resolve your stress levels, we’d highly suggest approaching a custom web design agency to help relieve the burden of your custom web design project. Offloading either all or part of your custom web design project is a simple way to ensure your project is completed to a high standard, without the stress of every tiny detail landing on your desk. Here at Kartogram, we support businesses every day through practical design and development as well as consultation services. Partnering with a custom web design agency could be the best decision you ever make, so it’s worth looking into if your business’s design demands are stressing you out more than they should.
