How To Choose A Web Designer

Recently, on a Facebook group, someone posed the question;

“How do you choose a web designer / developer?”

As a web designer, I chipped in with some suggestions on the factors that could influence a decision. I thought I would share them;

• Do you want to work with someone local or remote?
  
• Is cost an important factor?
  
• Do you want someone just to design / build a website or are you looking for a long-term relationship?
  
• Take a look at their portfolio. Have there built any websites that you like the look and feel of?
  
• Are there any public reviews of the company available on sites like Trustpilot or Google Reviews?
  
• What are the deliverables that are included when they build a website?
  
• Is there any industry specific knowledge required?

The decision is the same as any business relationship; do they have the technical skills and is this a company I can work with?

If you are looking for someone to build a website, then we would love to talk to you.
