5 Things You Need to Do Before You Hire a Website Designer

There are over 1.5 billion websites on the internet today – but have you ever thought about how many of those are actually active, well-made sites?

The answer: not even 200 million websites on the internet are active right now. Of those, it’s hard to imagine they’re all on-trend and making good impressions on users.

It’s not enough to be just another domain among the many, many websites out there. If you’re creating a website for your business or trying to start a high-performing online business, you need to hire a web designer.


Web design determines how well you reach, engage, and convert your audience. It’s critical to making money and growing your presence online.

But, you can’t hire just any web designer to create something for you.

Here are 5 things you need to do to find the right person!

1. Identify Your Needs

Are you building a website from scratch or are you in need of a redesign? Do you want to transfer data from one domain/hosting site to another or would you rather have someone build the backend for you?

These are just a few questions to ask yourself before hiring a web designer. They help you focus your search once you start looking for people to hire. Identifying your needs also keeps you on track as you get into discussions about contracts and services.

2. Set a Budget

It’s one thing to establish everything you need from a web designer and another to know how you’re going to pay for it. This is why you need to set a budget before you start reaching out to different designers.

You don’t want to be ready to hire someone just to realize their services are completely out of your price range. Go into your search with a number in mind so that you don’t have any surprises as you narrow down your options.
