Your website is the very first thing a visitor sees before doing business with you so you need to find a web designer who will design a website that reflects your business. The first impression visitors get of your site will either cause them or inspire them to contact you or to click away to one of your competitors.

1. How long have you been designing websites?

The longer a person has been in business the more experience he or she has gained and will be more familiar with all the problems that may arise during the website's development.

Ask if you can view their design portfolio. It will give you some idea of the types and quality of designs completed for previous clients. If they look amateurish and outdated contact another website design company.

2. How long will it take to complete the design?

This largely depends on how complicated the design is. If it's only 1 or 2 pages it could be completed within a few days however. If it's an e-commerce site that contains hundreds of items and you need to calculate shipping costs, tax and price points then it's going to take much longer and will cost more.

After discussing your website needs ask him or her to send you a preliminary proposal so you can clear up any points that need clarification.

3. How much will it cost to design and build my site?

This will vary based upon the complexity of your website. For example a 3 page informational site will cost much less than a 20 page e-commerce site.

4. Do you offer marketing services?

Many website owners have the false belief that their website will start attracting visitors once their design has been completed and the website has been uploaded to the server. This can be compared to erecting a sign in the desert. There'll be no traffic and therefore nobody will be able to see it.

Ask your designer if they offer marketing services. For instance a pay-per-click campaign will generate immediate traffic whereas a search engine optimization campaign will build up a steady stream of traffic over time as your rankings increase in the search engines.
