First and foremost a web designer should have a good understanding of your business, who your target audience is and what you, as a client, are looking for in a website. Ultimately your website should have a purpose and be a way to make a connection with your customers.
Here are some of the common questions we get from clients…and while by no means an exhaustive list, they are key questions everyone should ask their potential web designer before committing to a contract:
What services do you offer?
Can you show me some websites your company has previously designed?
How long do you expect it to take to design my website?
What do you need from me to get started?
Will I be able to see my website as you’re creating it?
How much input will I have during the design process?
Will you be providing any content?
Can you help me get images for my website?
What happens if I don’t like the initial design and how many revisions am I allowed to make?
Will my website provide a consistent look with my already established brand?
What type of content management system do you use and will I be able to make edits to the website after it’s finished?
Will my website be compatible with smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices?
Can you integrate social media into my web design?
Will any SEO be integrated within my web design?
How much do you charge and what is included in the price?
What are your payment terms?
Can I contact you for future updates, ongoing maintenance and support after my site goes live and what is the cost and billing procedure?
Do you offer maintenance training?
Do you offer or can you help me with hosting and domain name registration?
Will I own my website once it’s completed?
