5 Things to Look for in a Web Designer

1. Style

Check their images, case studies, examples, portfolios, visit the sites they’ve built. Does the designer’s style match the way you’d like your site to look. Granted, another company might want something different than you, but does that web developing company seem to deliver clean websites that load quickly that look great? Can you see your site looking something like that?

2. Price

How much do they charge for website development? Is this within your budget? You’ve probably already thought about cost, so double checking with a company about what they can do for you at your price point is important. If a website design company has some basic pricing listed, that’s even better!

3. Using Appropriate Language

Yes, many website designers can make “beautiful, stunning sites,” which you may want, but if that’s all they talk about? Run. A good website designer will want to talk about you. Your goals for the site, the functions you want your site to do, your hopes for how it all looks.

4. Offering Different Designs

Sometimes you think of an idea and as soon as you see it in reality…you hate it. Or maybe you’re not sure of exactly how you want your site to look, but you have a few guidelines you’d like a designer to follow. That’s all okay, unless your website designer only allows for one design. You’d don’t want to be stuck with something you don’t love, so make sure the agency you stick with will really work with you to create a look and feel you’re happy with.

5. The Total Package

Take a step back and look them all over. Do they have the skills to do what you’d like to see in your site? Can they complete any graphics you may need, or will you need to go somewhere else? Do you feel listened to when you speak with them? Yeah, you could probably tolerate some companies, but the web designer you really want to do business with is the one that can make it all happen for you. Sometimes that means searching even more, but the benefits of having a site the functions well, makes you proud, and brings in more customers is well worth the time it takes to find the perfect fit when choosing a web designer.
