fastest-growing freelance marketplace.
Finding a good web designer is essential in today’s business world. Companies functioning without a website lose valuable business prospects, and if you’re ready to step into the world of e-business, or your site just needs an upgrade, the help of a good web designer is essential to meeting your needs. The trick, though, is to find the right web designer to meet your needs.
One good way to evaluate your potential list of web designers is to look directly at their sites. If you’re an employer looking to hire a web designer, you need to be able to evaluate their skills, and what better place to start than the way they market themselves?
Good web designers have sites with a number of important factors.
- The site has an attractive layout with good colors that work well together.
- The site is easy to navigate.
- The site is written well and contains all of the necessary information.
- The layout of the site is CCC based.
As an employer looking to hire a web designer, remember to search the web designer’s portfolio as well. Look carefully at the sites they have designed, and make any notes about questions you’d like to ask each of the web designers. You might even take the necessary steps to speak with one of their previous clients. Knowing whether or not the web designer you choose will communicate with you on a regular basis and meet your expectations is essential.
Once you choose the right web designer, you may also need some assurances that your payments to the web designer will not be in vain, so set up a written agreement that outlines your needs and your expectations in terms of revisions to the work. Using an escrow payment system or a deposit method may also help to ensure that the work does get completed.

"I took a chance one day when I was flush and sent a few bucks to gain access to the Go Freelance Professional Edition. Since then, I've edited a sales letter, a follow-up letter, an 11-page Web site, and a brochure. I'm 'on call' to do pinch-hit proofreading for a medical newsletter editor in Florida ..and I've landed a gig editing a new Canadian magazine coming out this fall. All this from taking a chance on Go Freelance."
