Finding a great web designer might feel overwhelming when you have minimal to zero knowledge in website design. I’ve known a few who have spent hundreds, even thousands of dollars and are still not happy with how their website turned out. All because of hiring the wrong web designer.
1. Flexible design approach
A great website designer doesn’t have a rigid design approach. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What you see as beautiful may be ugly to another. Therefore, a good designer is someone who does not have a rigid design approach but a flexible one. A good designer suggests but listens at the same time. They will not impose their design idea is better but will instead help you understand the differences and qualities of one idea from another.
2. A good listener
I’m not talking about listening to your personal problems. I’m talking about someone who pays attention to your needs and comprehends your company’s nature. Because to them, their design it not solely about making your company look good on the internet, it’s also about contributing to your company’s growth.
3. Well-informed and up-to-date
A skilled web designer keeps himself up-to-date, not just with current design trends but also with latest web development standards and practices. They are the type of person who keeps himself informed with things like ideal web design dimensions, common screen resolutions, and more. Why? Because this knowledge plays a role in ensuring an awesome experience for your future website visitors.
4. Tailored pricing
A good website designer will take the time to listen to your needs first before discussing fees. They will base their fee on how much work they need to do and its complexity.
5. Passionate creativity
A good web designer radiates great passion for creativity. They can talk about what they do with excitement like the happy regular ’employee of the month’. Ever heard of the saying, “Do something you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” That’s absolutely true in this case.
6. Respectful collaboration
A good web designer will never insult your ideas but will instead take them into consideration.
7. Driven by your satisfaction
And because a good designer loves what they do so much, they are happy when you are happy. Therefore, they strive to create something that will leave you satisfied and completely happy with the outcome.
