I know the emotions when you are going to buy something you know nothing about and after you have been made a fool off the feeling of grief that why didn’t you asked your buddy or employed an expert for this type of job.
I had my websites designed and redesigned numerous times and I have helped many of my associates to find qualified web designer but I think its time to share my knowledge with everyone because everybody should know how to find a high-quality web designer that’s why I have decided to write a whole article about this topic and I hope after reading these ten tips on finding a professional web designer you will never be fooled by any scammers
Expert designers will fit in the following profile:
1.He/She should know how to write the HTML code (which is the base of any webpage)
2.He/She should know how to Cascading Style Sheets (controls font colors and sizes and removes code bloat )
3.He/She should have the skill of Search Engine Optimization (how to get top ranking for your keywords)
4.He/She should have the skill of designing logos, navigating graphics and editing images
5.He/She should have the understanding of where to submit your site to gain links and traffic)
6.He/She should have his own website .com/ .net/ .org
7.He/She should have reference to his past work on his website (Portfolio)
8.He/She should be able to correspond with you in English 24/7 either via messenger or phone)
9.He/She should be willing to provide sample of your website before making full payment? (if they are then they are professionals without any doubt)
10. Google’s listing of the Designer's site
If your web designer is an expert in Search Engine Optimization then his own website must be easy to find on Google because most of people come on your website from Google
Use this query in Google site: PutTheirDomainHere.com
For example www.1websitedesign.net (one of the specialized web designers I have worked with.)
This will show where they stand on Google.
Titles and Descriptions
See if the titles of their pages are all the same and also the descriptions. If they are, then the designer knows nothing about SEO because utilizing exclusive titles for each page and descriptions that mirrors the content of that page are one of the most essential keyword ranking gear in web design and the later can get a site penalized and it can take months to recover so its sensible to find another web designer web designing company.
Very Few Pages Listed
See if Google has all their pages listed. You can estimate how many pages they have on their website by running your mouse over their menu and counting links on their home page. If Google only has their home page listed then search engines have a problem browsing their site and the same thing will happen to your website so it’s wise to find someone else to do this job.
With these tips you are sure to find a high-quality web designer in no time
