How to hire a web designer

Look at their work

Open a few of their sites on your phone. Do they look different from each other, or like the same template?

Ask these

• What does it cost in total?
• Who owns the site when it is done?
• How many revisions do I get?
• How long will it take?
• Are there monthly fees?
• What do you need from me?

Red flags

• Vague pricing
• No contract
• Will not say who owns the site
• Templates sold as custom

How I work

Fixed price, 3 rounds of revisions, and about a week for most projects. You own the site once it is paid for.
