Now that you've sent your request out to the Web you will start to receive proposals. The challenge is getting the biggest talent for your design budget.
Don't hire the first decent designer to come along. There is a very large pool of candidates scattered across a wide spectrum of talent and expertise.
Here are 5 tips for choosing the best possible Web designer for your particular needs and budget. Since you probably don't have the budget for a do-over, choose carefully.
- Reject anyone that doesn't follow directions.
- Reject anyone with a casual or unprofessional tone.
- Look through their portfolios.
- Get references from previous clients.
- Choose someone you would enjoy working with.
After narrowing your choices down to one, you're nearly ready to get to designing. Before you begin work, however, make sure you have a bulletproof agreement with your designer.
