Evaluating a Website Designer
Choosing a website design company can be a daunting task. Above all, it is important that you like the person you choose and you feel you can communicate with them. Additionally, you should feel like they are listening to you AND making suggestions for your website.
There are also some other things you should consider that may assist you in choosing which website designer is right for you.
Look at their past work. If you are pleased with the results that they have given to past clients then there is a great chance you will like the design they create for you.
What skills does the website developer have? Does the website design company offer "design only", or can they offer maintenance support after the website is developed? Can the website design company offer dynamic web development and database design?
** Also, ensure that they do not advertise themselves as a web designer but focus mainly on print media. website design and print design are different ballparks with different requirements
Is the website design company a one-stop-shop? Be sure the website design company will be able to take your website from start to finish or will you need to look for other contractors to help finish the job. The total cost of the project will be less if you can work with one company.
Will the website design company offer references? If so CHECK THEM. Former clients will be able to tell you the true story. Here are few questions that you may want to ask when speaking to a reference:
- Did they meet deadlines?
- Were they flexible?
- Did they set and meet realistic goals for your project?
- Would they work with this firm again?
Will the website design company offer a written proposal? Be sure to agree on costs that will be incurred for the creation of the website and get a detailed estimate. Too many website design firms have a low price to get you working with them and then double or worse TRIPLE their price at the end.
Does the web design company understand your goals for YOUR website? It is important that your goals for the website are the same. Ensure that the website designer is aware of your objectives and target market. Remember, your website is an extension of your business and is a great marketing tool if used correctly.
Ask how the development process is handled. Make certain that you will be able to see the progress of your website and offer approval on each stage of the process. You don't want to start a project and then two months later be given the final website without ever seeing it along the way.
Will the website design company be able to handle the Search Engine Marketing AFTER the website is completed.. Be sure that the company you choose is able to continue wokring with you AFTER your website is completed. No sense in having a website unless you want to attract visitor. Right?
