How To Find The Right Designer For Your Business Website

Web design is an important part of your business. Your website design is the "shop-font" of your business online, and you have around 7 precious seconds to capture your visitor's imagination & keep their attention.

Of course, you know exactly how your business functions, how it works, what the goals of the business are and well; everything that us as web designers need to know to deliver to you the most suitable and effective website possible.

Tips On Finding The Right Web Designer For You

• It's all about getting along - First thing's first: have a brew (or coffee, or beer, or whatever...) with anyone who wishes to work with you and your business as a web designer.

  
  

  The root of all good web designer / client relationships is getting along, just like any business relationship. Informally getting together like this allows you to get a feel for the web designer's personality, the flair that they can inject into your web design and really, your gut knows whether or not you get along. If you do, read on...

• Ask to see some past work - Obvious of course, but most web design companies worth their salt have work in progress or work that they've just not gotten around to putting on their website.

  
  

  The benefit of this is that you see the web designer's most up to date work as well as getting a feel for how existing client's value them and generally how busy they are.

• Ask them about the web designer's existing clients - Asking about the background, performance and growth of existing clients is a very good way to gauge just how engaged and involved the web designer gets when dealing with projects. It also means that you're less likely to be delivered a website that doesn't perform or ddoesn't fit your company as it should.

• Don't be afraid of talking numbers: - You shouldn't be worried about talking basic costs right from the get go. Of course, pricing for projects can only be finalised following a full briefing session but generally, the web desigenr should have some idea of a base price to work from.

  
  

  Pounds aren't the only numbers you should mention either, in fact; here are a few other useful questions:

  • "Can you show me recent examples of websites receiving growing traffic levels as a result of a redesign?"
  • "Can you talk me through how you ensure that my website will deliver the goals that are set out by my business needs?"
  • "What is a broad overview of your long term strategy for ensuring my web design continues to deliver results?"

• Talk to past clients - Ok this one isn't a question, but once you've left your first meeting with your prospective new web designer, why not give one of their existing clients a call and have a couple of minutes asking about their experiences working with the web designer. What a great way to find out directly what a past client thinks, and the web designer should not mind at all.
