I never start designing website before I get final version of all copy.
That's the rule.
No placeholders. No quick drafts either.
Web is all about type and words, I do pay a lot of attention how I present them, and I need to know what they are to do my job well.
- Tyrannosaurs 15y agoI completely see the logic of what you're saying - how can you be expected to present words when you don't know what the words are - but does this hard line work in practice? Do you demand every bit of copy or just the key bits? For instance if you were doing a travel site with 100 hotels would you want every hotel or just two or three as a template?
- flixic 15y agoIn the example you have given, yes, 2-3 examples would suffice. However, I usually design websites with carefully crafted text and design (that is, with a lot of content that won't change much and won't come from CMS), so in most cases, I ask for all copy.
