It’s no secret that designing a website is no small feat. Even seasoned website designers who are in love with the web design process can get bogged down by all the loose ends you have to tie up before hitting “publish.”
Tasks like copywriting, spell-checking, linking all the buttons, and search-engine-optimizing might seem like a drag compared to the actual DESIGN side of website design. Not to mention, these tasks can start to stack hours on top of an already large project.
Enter the virtual assistant!
Working with a creative VA makes website design easy! By teaming up with a virtual assistant, you can streamline your website design process and save loads of time and headaches without compromising on a beautifully optimized online presence.
After years of working with web designers here at Keeping the Creativity, here is our expert insight on how to make website design easy with a virtual assistant!
Why hire a virtual assistant for website design?
Think of “virtual assistant” as a catch-all title for a person who helps you get your job done in the exact way you would do it. However, although it is a catch-all title, each VA has their own unique skill set and expertise. For example, here at Keeping the Creativity, we specialize in creative tasks, including website design tasks for our designer clients!
The number one benefit of hiring a VA for website design? Saving time.
By partnering with a virtual assistant, all the website design tasks that tend to take up too much of a designer’s time can be delegated, allowing website designers to use their valuable time to focus on what they do best: ACTUALLY DESIGNING.
Additionally, virtual assistants provide a cost-effective solution for outsourcing work or hiring team members. Working with a virtual assistant also offers flexibility, as virtual assistants can adapt to fluctuating workloads and provide support when it’s most needed on even the most daunting website design task!
Streamline the website design process with a virtual assistant:
We get that designing a website can feel like a prized possession. You don’t want to delegate website design tasks to just anyone!
The good news is that virtual assistants are fully equipped with the knowledge and experience to handle various website tasks, whether they’re creative or a bit on the technical side.
So what exactly can you delegate to a virtual assistant when designing a website? Let’s take a closer look…
Graphic Design & Visual Elements:
Virtual assistants are great to work with as “junior designers” in your website design project.
Maybe you need help creating a quick mock-up for a services page, or maybe you’re needing to swap fonts out throughout the entire website. No problem!
Virtual assistants can handle smaller graphic design projects like adding brand elements, swapping colors, or adjusting spacing with ease so you can focus on the big-picture design.
Content Creation and Copywriting:
Virtual assistants can become a content-expert of sorts or even a ghost-writer for your website design process!
Maybe it’s time to replace the “lorem ipsum” text with actual website copy, but you’re running short on time. Or maybe you noticed that your SEO descriptions are blank after sending your site off for review.
SEO-friendly content and copywriting tasks can be handed off to a virtual assistant with no hesitation!
Whether it’s a short blurb on one page or a fully-written SEO-friendly blog, virtual assistants can take on the writing so you can focus on designing.
Enhancing your online presence with expert tips:
Most VAs have been around the block a few times, meaning that they have expert tips in the website design world.
When it comes to your website’s speed, performance, mobile responsiveness, and overall user-friendliness, a virtual assistant can provide you with all the tips and tricks to ensure your show-stopping website works like a well-oiled machine.
Tasks like final walk-throughs and checking those call-to-action buttons for the millionth time can be delegated over to your virtual assistant so you can save time without skipping on a high-quality site!
Whether you need help with the creative side of website design or need a carbon copy of yourself to double-check your site’s user experience, a virtual assistant is the perfect, cost-effective solution to streamlining your website design process!
