Effective communication with a web developer is extremely important to make sure that a project gets done correctly and on time. Make sure you talk with a good flow, concise and smooth so they can understand and don’t talk to fast or too slow. Some things to talk about are “What is your plan?”, “How can I help?” and “What are your ideas?” which are all good. Some instances include you asking questions to learn more about development, talking about future plans relating to a project, and you asking for tips relating to your own project.
If you will be trying to learn more about web development then you need to ask sophisticated questions while talking with a purpose and pace. It is important that you understand web design terminology and concepts so they understand you. Things you could ask are “How do I advertise my website?”, “How can I get started with my journey?” and “How did you start your career?”. It’s crucial to ask the certain questions while you have the time with them and get to the point with everything you say.
If you are in a working setting with others around you and you need to talk to another worker(web developer), the way you talk to them depends on your relationship. For example, if they are close to you and you’re good friends then you can talk in any way you’d like but try to keep it professional. In another instance, if you don’t really know them, talk in a timely manner and keep it short, you are not interviewing them if it’s at work. You could say things such as “Do you need help with that?” or “How do I do (said thing)”.
If you’re asking for tips relating to development make sure to ask nicely and respectfully for pointers and short, helpful tips for your project or career. Don’t ask for too much because they might get overwhelmed and ask for specified tips, not broad. Things you could say contain “Could I get any tips on starting my own (said thing) business?”, “I don’t know where to start building up from.” or you could ask “What pointers do you have for someone wanting to make good advertisements about (said thing)?” It is always good to ask for pointers/tips but don’t overwhelm them with suggestions.
In conclusion, it’s very good to ask questions or ask for tips but keep it concise because they may not have time, unless you’re in an office. There are many scenarios I haven’t listed but make your best judgement while talking to them and be nice with good manners.
