What To Do When Hiring A Web Designer

A making your own web design is somewhat like fixing your car yourself. You will have to buy new parts, you will do some “fixing”, you have lost a lot of time and still spend money on it at the end you will never again be able to rely on it like you have in the past. So the best action is to get a person who does that for a living. It is the same with web design, if you really like to be as professionally represented by the web page as (I guess) you business is you should find a web designer.

Chicago Web designers are easy to come by, one google away you can find hundreds of them. The point is to find the one right for you and spend less. If you are searching for a full time web developer for let us say client-side development he should skilled in HTML the most, but other skills are not needed much. Of course diverse designer is a plus but more skilled one will cost more and you may never use his other skills. Some photoshop skills or illustrator if you need a logo also are needed. So do extensive research and ask yourself what will you be needing, before doing the interviews.

When making the web page try to see if the web designer uses heavy graphics. This is not wanted because the site will be sluggish, amateur looking and frustrating for those clients with slower connections.  Also flash multimedia is a questionable subject, usually is not needed, an amateur web designer may make a common error in putting (usually) your logo tossing around your webpage that needs preloading and cost you loosing impatient customers. Study shows that more than 90% of people click on skip intro button when it is available. So if you see this on your web page try finding a new web designer.
