Hiring a Web Designer

    Website development

    Like many things, you get what you pay for when hiring a web designer, but the resultant website and its ability to achieve your business objectives is very much dependent upon YOUR input too.

    Let’s use the analogy of custom building a desirable house...

    If you wanted an impressive and desirable custom designed home - you'd hire an Architect to design and manage the project.

    • You would need to set out a realistic financial budget capable of producing the desired results
    • You would have to decide on and provide an extensive project brief and get involved in ongoing discussions.
    • Realise that there's plenty to do - crucial research, comparison, compromises and decisions over cost, quality, practicality, positioning, efficiency and improvements.
    • Understand that some things cannot be controlled by either you or the Architect, e.g. the weather, 3rd party contractor reliability, availability, etc - so you should be prepared for delays and re-adjusted costs, consider and deal with amendments and corrections.

    In addition, if you change your mind on any particular aspect - it may likely have financial and delay implications.

    So if you have high expectations for your website -

    • Decide what exactly you want your website to achieve.
    • Write a Marketing Plan with a SWOT analysis.
    • Prioritise.
    • Work out a realistic budget.
    • Hire a hard-working, pro-active and dynamic web designer/manager.
    • Provide detailed, effective and ongoing briefing.
    • Be flexible.
