  Top 3 Steps In Picking A Web Designer.

1. Don't Judge A Designer's Skill Solely On Graphic Design Skills.
Instead of focusing completely on visual image, concentrate on evaluating a designer's other skills. Evaluate the designer's portfolio by asking these sample questions:

• Does this designer design with usability in mind? In other words, is the site designed for form or for function?
  
  
• Does the designer have good organizational abilities? Look for organization of the entire site as a whole, as well as the organization of individual page layouts.
  
  
• Does the designer employ good navigation techniques? Does the designer design sites that are easy to use?
  All sites should motivate a visitor to do something, whether it is buying a product, filling out a quote request form, signing up for a newsletter, etc. Does the designer do a good job of visually showing visitors how to take action?
  
  
• Instead of asking, "Does this site look good?" ask, "Would this site make me want to buy a product?"

2. Talk With References.
Don't just peruse the sites in a designer's portfolio. Get in contact with some of the designer's past clients and question them on the specifics of their experience.

Also, be sure to ask how effective the client's website has been. How many visitors do they get? By how much have their sales increased? (Note not all companies choose to have their designer market the website, choose your questions wisely or you could get a wrong impression)

3. Don't Necessarily Go For The Lowest Bidder.
Remember, it's not just about getting a website; you'll need a website that will actually perform. Price and quality usually have a direct relationship, so you'll get what you pay for. Designers who are overly inexpensive ordinarily lack experience, are difficult to work with, don't understand much about online marketing, or don't truly have a grasp of good Orlando web design techniques. A website from such a designer won't be beneficial.
