I’ve been running into more than a few people lately who have spent a lot of money with a developer or designer, but six months go by and they have very little to show for it.
If you’re in the market for a new website or a re-design, please do the appropriate due diligence!
I’ve been running into more than a few people lately who have spent a lot of money with a developer or "designer", but six months go by and they have very little to show for it.
Companies that don’t ask the hard questions before hiring someone to build their website make themselves vulnerable to well-meaning service providers who fully intend to get their clients launched – but get in over their heads.
I can get the project completed for them, but the lost time, revenue and opportunity could have been avoided.
Here are some things to ask before you hire any developer or designer:
- How long have you been in business as a designer/developer?
- Do you have a degree? What did you study?
- Do you have any testimonials?
- What’s your process for completing a project like this?
- Have you done a project before like the one I’m proposing? Did anything go wrong along the way? How did you resolve the problem?
Ask to see their website design portfolio and try to work with someone who has created something at least similar to what you need. For example, if you’re rebranding your company website, ask to see their brand development work.
