10 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Web Designer
Hiring a web designer is a leap of faith if you do not know what to ask. These ten questions quickly separate the pros from the people who will leave you with a half-finished site and a headache.
The questions
- Can I see real sites you have built? (Ask for live links, not mockups.)
- Will I own my domain and website?
- Is the price fixed and written down, with no hidden fees?
- Is local SEO included, or extra?
- Will the site be fast and mobile-first?
- Who writes the content and gathers photos?
- What happens after launch: hosting, updates, support?
- How long will it take?
- Can I reach a real person when I have a question?
- What do you need from me to get started?
Owning your domain is the one people forget, and it matters a lot, as we explain in domains and hosting explained. Clear pricing and real examples are non-negotiable.
