How To Hire A Website Designer In Seattle
Website designers in Seattle have a widely varying price structure. With some web designers you will be able to get a ten page website built for $300 or so, while others may charge you closer to $2, 000. Why the great discrepancy? How do you know when to hire a website designer?
The main thing you need to know when looking to hire a good website designer is not how much they charge, but rather what will you get for your money. A good quality design that embraces the latest web coding practices will serve you well when your business grows and you are looking to expand your website capabilities. A knowledgeable website developer should have a wide array of skills and be willing to answer all your questions without growing impatient. Prior to hiring a website designer/developer for a professional website project, be sure that you ask the right questions. Here are some questions you should be asking and hopefully answers you should be getting: 1. Will I be able to see a mockup of my site design? ANSWER: Sure. After we discuss a little more about your business and what you plan to achieve with your website, we can start formulating some design ideas and come up with a mockup site design that you are happy with. 2. Will your quote for my site be fixed after we agree upon my website needs and is there a contract? ANSWER: Yes. Whatever we agree to will be placed in the contract and the price will be agreed upon before-hand. If you need additional services or pages we will get approval from you first and draw up additional agreements in writing prior to commencing additional work. We will go over each part of the contract until you are comfortable with the agreement. There are no surprises. 3. How long will it take you to respond to my emails and will you be available by phone? ANSWER: Usually within the same day and we are always available by phone to discuss your project and concerns you may have. We may set up face to face meetings to go over your concerns and there will be time set aside in advance (at no charge) so we can go over all your concerns and cover any questions you may have. 4. Do you use tables for laying out your website designs? ANSWER: No. Using tables for layout are outdated and slow your website down. It may also cause your site to perform worse in the search engines. Layout methods we use are standards compliant and we use modern CSS methods to layout and structure your website layout. 5. Can we decide ahead on a deadline? ANSWER: Yes, but meeting the deadline will be dependent on us getting all the needed information, content and images from you or your office and having a good flow of communication. We will try our best to meet a reasonable deadline, but will let you know if your deadline is not reasonable and the reasons as to why. 6. Will you build the site so that it is Google friendly? ANSWER: Yes. We keep up to date with the safest and latest SEO trends in the field of web design and SEO/SEM. Your site will be coded following Google's guidelines and the best recommendations of a good many other popular search engines, so as to give your site the best chance of being ranked fairly. 7.
