5 Questions to Ask Before Committing to a Web Designer

Can I see your portfolio? 

Although this may seem like the most obvious question to ask, it is important to figure out exactly what you are looking for in their portfolio. You should have a clear view on what you would like your website to be.  Many web designers are known for certain design points and you don’t want your styles to clash.

Can I talk to any previous clients? 

Talking to previous clients can be extremely helpful.  It’s getting an inside look into how your web designer performs.  Ask these former clients if they (the designers) stuck to their deadlines, and if they took into consideration their (the previous clients) needs and wants.  Making sure the web designer is open to what your vision is really important.

What can you provide for my company? 

Remember when talking to web designers (firms or freelancers) you are hiring them.  Make them take the time to present exactly what they are planning to do.  You interview prospective employees why wouldn’t you do the same for your web designer?

How long have you been in business? 

Because web design has become such a popular trade, you need to make sure you are relying on reputable companies/freelancers.  Although everyone needs to start somewhere, you need to feel comfortable with their experience level.

How will I be able to maintain the site once it is live?

You may not be on the up and up when it comes to HTML and CSS code—make sure your site can be managed without needing extensive HTML or CSS coding.  Updates are important to any website, and you should be able to do simple updates in-house.
