How to hire a web designer?
Before you hire a web designer ask yourself one question!
Do I want a search engine friendly website that wills one-day rank on page one of Google? Yes! Then find a web design and development company that can do it all and that ranks on page 1 of major search engines. Don't go hire a web designer on Kijiji or hire the neighbours' kid because that wont give you the results you want. Next, check their portfolio or ask them to provide links to website projects they recently finished. The last thing, get a feel for the person you are talking to. That always goes a long way. If it sounds like he doesn't have the time of day for you, move on!
