Choosing the right web designer from the beginning can save you a lot of money and headaches. It’s easy to choose wrong if you don’t have the inside track on web design. Here are some guidelines.
The Right Web Designer for You…
- Is easy to work with, as proven by references.
- Uses responsive design so it looks good on mobile devices too.
- Offers a content management system (CMS) such as WordPress, so that you can edit your own website content.
- Has a portfolio of websites that look professional to you, and to a web professional that looks under the hood.
- Shows interest and understanding about your particular goals for your website.
- Understands how to get results from a website, not just looking pretty. (Look for a web designer who is also a web strategist.)
- Knows when to refer to others for services outside their field of expertise (such as graphic design, content writing, video production, and search engine optimization).
- Can help you choose qualified graphic designers and experts to complete the website team.

Hello! I am teetering on the edge of starting my own business. The past few weeks, I have spent reading books, blogs and various websites to ramp up on the way of marketing. After only being out of the workplace for 4-5 years, I am amazed at how much has changed.
I just wanted to comment and say that you have been very generous with the amount of information you provide on your website. I truly have learned a lot – and you made it easy and fun!
I wish that I was in the position to work with you. I know that your services would jump start my business! However, as a new small biz owner, I really have to watch those pennies. But, perhaps, in a few months, I can…anyway, thanks for making all this new and confusing information more digestable!
