How To Hire A Web Design Professional

By Kenny Marcum


Websites provide events, organizations and businesses a good outlet for promotions and marketing. Like other marketing and promotional tools, websites require a time and monetary investment. An individual can assemble a website by himself or hire a web design professional to do it for him.

A quality website takes time to plan. Figure out how big of a website is needed. The need for one entity may simply call for one web page. Some other entity may require a website that has multiple pages and graphics.

The key to building a quality website is having good content. The content should convey to readers the most important information about a event, business or organization. Supplemental and filler content is a good idea to have. Have all or most content ready before looking for a designer.

A professional designer can be located on the internet. Classified websites are a good starting point. Another helpful resource is a freelance site.

There are ways to locate a designer without using the internet as a resource. Head over to a local university and post an ad on a bulletin board in the building where computer classes are taught. Be aware that approval from a school official may be needed to post an ad. In addition, ask people in the community for recommendations if they already have a quality site up.

Any designer serious about his craft has a portfolio. A portfolio is a collection of the websites he has designed. Someone that is just starting out may not have an extensive portfolio. Class projects might be included in the portfolios of students. Look at the quality as opposed to the quantity of sites by prospective designers.

The price of a site varies. An extensive site costs more than a relatively small site. A novice or student designer may build a site free of charge in order to build her portfolio. A more established web design professional may have packages that include among other things updates and hosting.
