Before Hiring A Web Designer:
○ Think about the purpose of your website? Are you service- or product-oriented?
○ What information do you want to convey and how do you want to organize it?
○ Research other websites; what appeals to you and what doesn't? Then convey your expectations.
○ Understand the differences between a custom (or hand-coded) HTML/CSS site vs website templates.
○ Allow plenty of time for your site to be developed and completed when setting deadlines.
○ Some designers offer "freebies" but then add on many other hidden fees; read your contract.

How A Professionally Designed Website Creates A Better First Impression Than A Do-It Yourself Site
You communicate the value of a great first impression not just through your website design, but also through the content and other subtle aspects of your site. In this case, trust starts visually. A excellent first impression, when done by a professional versus a site you do yourself, is much higher. Don't look at professional website design as an unneeded expense, but rather as an investment that will last years and set a positive first impression that will contribute to growing your business.
A professional site gives an impression of success, reliability and stability. Although you may be able to figure out how to do it yourself, there's huge value in the overall results of a professionally designed website. When choosing a professional web designer you should make clear what you envision for your site and your business and ultimately, what impression do you want to give your current and potential customers? What message is important for you to convey in your first impression? A good professional web designer will be able to organize all of your ideas, information and current materials into a well-designed website that represents you and your business in a visual, informational, navigable website.
Remember, you essentially have two seconds to capture the attention of your visitors. A professional designer will help make it immediately clear what your products and/or services are. Use your website to attract the right customer so your time is spent doing what you do best!
