Title: What To Ask Your Web Designer
Author: Demetria Zinga
Article:
If you need a web designer, but have no clue about the typical
web design process, I am quite certain that you must be feeling
a bit overwhelmed about what to expect. As web designers, we
oftentimes have a myriad of roles to fill when working with
their clients, but as the client, you always have a right to
know the complete design process up front. Let's talk a bit
about what questions you may want to ask a potential design firm
before they get started on your website.
1.)"How much is this going to cost?" Of course you want to know
that! Be sure the designer gives you a consultation, which
allows you a sneak preview on what they will be able to do for
YOU. You want your designer to be personal with you, not
general. 2.)Your designer needs to know the general PURPOSE of
your site. What is your main goal? Who is your audience? Will
there be interactivity, collaboration, or e-commerce on your
website? You should ask the designer if he or she has the
capabilities of designing a site that would suit your purpose
and mission. 3.)Ask for a contract to review. Take a few days to
look over the contract before signing. 4.)Does the designer ask
you what YOU like? Your designer should ask you about your
favorite colors on the web, what websites you do or don't like,
and why. Also they should make sure they discuss with you any
features that you find unappealing and take note of your
opinions. 5.)Who will own the copyrights to the finished
product? Make sure you find out whether or not your designer
takes full copyrights of the website. Many times designers will
also want to use your website designs as part of their
portfolio. They should let you know this in advance. 6.)Will
your designer also host your site? Make sure you find out how
your site will be published and which company will provide your
hosting services. How often will you need to make hosting
payments and when? Who will secure your domain name, and does
this come with hosting?
These are all questions to consider when working with a web
designer. As you become familiar with the person you are working
with, it will become easier to detect his or her style, and be
able to communicate effectively with them. As a designer, I can
tell you that we wear many different hats and work with many
different people on a daily basis…but as the client you will
ALWAYS have a right to ask questions and expect reasonable
answers. In your search for a trustworthy web designer, be sure
to ask the questions above, and I'm certain you'll locate the
designer with the right answers for you.
