In today’s economy a true entrepreneur needs to work even harder than usual. Therefore if you are one those entrepreneurs that have learnt all the skills to work online then it’s time for change. One of the most time consuming skills in the online world is website design. This is because you need to plan, design and then code.
It is for these reasons that many entrepreneurs’ have started to outsource their web designing to companies and freelancers. However if you do decide, or are now looking for the best way to outsource web designing then there are some specific points you need to consider.
First, you need to decide if you are going to use a freelance web designer or a specialist company. In either situation the first thing you should do is check out their website. When you do look at their site examine it closely, both to see if it looks professional and if the spelling on the website is correct. The reason for the former is clear however the spelling is importing simply for communication purposes. However one major factor that many people do not take into consideration when looking to outsource their web designing is to check the coding of the website. This is because although the website may look aesthetically good it may have been done with old fashioned coding. If the website is good and falls within these checks then the next step is to look at their portfolio.
The portfolio is the second most important point when deciding who you should outsource your web designing to. This is because the portfolio will show you the quantity of the work they do and the quality of the work that they do. Again if they have live links to the site check them and then the source code out. This is because in many situations the links can be dead. If they are dead then this will clearly demonstrate that that company or freelance website designer does not take much care in their business.
Now that the important points of outsourcing web design are covered the last stage is to see if you can get a sample. A sample plan is important as it will show that the person(s) understand your instructions and you can also get a feel for their creativity.
