How To Choose a Web Designer
Nov 22nd, 2008 by Val Nelson
Choosing the right web designer from the beginning can save you a lot of money and headaches. It’s easy to choose wrong if you don’t have the inside track on web design. Here are some guidelines.
The Right Web Designer for You…
- Is easy to work with, as proven by references.
- Uses “standards-based” programming, because it is built to last.
- Offers a content management system (CMS) so that you can edit your own website content.
- Has a portfolio of websites that look professional to you, and to a web professional that looks under the hood.
- Shows interest and understanding about your particular goals for your website.
- Knows when to refer to others for services outside their field of expertise (such as graphic design, content writing, video production, and search engine optimization).
- Can help you choose qualified graphic designers and experts to complete the website team.
