The Easiest Way To Weed Out The Best Freelance Web Designer

When you’re looking for a freelance web designer for your company, it’s always challenging. You want to get it right because this person will create the first impression of your company online. You also may not know a lot about web design or you would do it yourself, so finding the right interview questions is tricky.

First, look at their portfolio, although this never tells the complete picture. Some websites in designer’s portfolios are part of a group effort and they may have worked on only one feature. Still, it is a good way to weed out any candidates that would be an absolute no.

If you find an independent freelance designer online who has a portfolio of designs they created entirely by themselves, you can get a better idea about their skills. Some designers only show screenshots and don't include links to the site. You need to ask if they have any live links, so you can check out the site's functionality, as well as the design. Many designers don't include links because clients change things and often not for the better.

Ask your potential designer what he or she feels about an absolutely terrible idea you have, such as putting animated waving flags on your coffee company website, or you may say you want an auto-play video with sound as soon as someone lands on your site. Do they try desperately to talk you out of it? A good designer will say something is a terrible idea and then explain why.

Ask them what they need from you to build a site. They should ask about your business, your desired audience and what you want the site to achieve, such as phone calls, customers making appointments or sales. If they don't ask about these things, they could never design a site that would help you reach your business goals.
