Hire web designers you have never met
You are wondering how you can hire a web designer since you never even met them?
The real question is do you want to meet your web designer company or do you want to know as many things as possible about it? All the things that will rest you assured that the job will be executed in a timely manner and with all your requirements at an established and agreed price, with quality services and maintenance for the website at best standars?
You actually met your web designer company if you know what activity they have done until now. You need to check the portfolio, to check a few of the websites created (you might even consider checking an older created site and compare it with a new one to see how they have evolved in time). Try to find blogs or sites that discuss about their activity, if possible. You never know what you might find.
Then, if you want to met/know them, you can simply pick-up the phone and call them to have a discussion based on what you are interested for. You might probably need to speak with more than one person in the company. One is the technical person who will actually design you website and the sales agent who will make you the price offer to include prices, terms and conditions. You need to find out from the technical person when he will start working on your site, if all your requests can be done and how efficient they will be and more important when does he think he will complete the job? When discussing with the sales agent, make sure that he included in the offer everything you asked for and for terms and conditions check what maintenance and service means to them and think whether this is Ok for you. Also, do find out before signing the contract, what happens if during the design of the website or after this is completed you want to cancel the contract. There might be hidden costs that might oblige you to stick with them. Even if you already discussed about when the job will start and its completion date, you can check again with the sales agent these details, just to be sure that those dates will be included in your contract.
These are the most important things you need to check and know about your web designer and you can do this from your home. This way the company you are choosing can be located anywhere in the world and you don’t need to meet them as long as you know as much as possible about them.
Even so, before you consider signing anything with any web designer company, try to get to know them very well. You do not wish to have a website that in the end will look far different from what you desired, wait for it to be finished for too long or have poor maintenance for it.
