🧠 Developers & Designers — What’s One Thing You Wish Founders Knew *Before* Hiring You?
(Real Talk Thread)
I've worked with dozens of startups on branding, apps, and websites.
The #1 recurring frustration? Founders who say "just make it look good" — with no clear business context.
Good design or tech execution isn’t decoration — it’s strategy.
It requires:
- 🎯 Clear business objectives
- 👥 Defined target users
- ⏳ Realistic timelines
What’s your "I wish they knew this" moment when dealing with non-technical founders?
And bonus question — how do you educate clients without sounding condescending?
