If you have hired a professional designer to create your own customized website, there are a few things you need to check with him/her.
Does you designer understand the web industry in general, and your business in particular? Assuming that you are opting for a design to draw business to your website, your designer needs to understand how to build a website to perform well on search engines. It is important that web designs, and subsequent HTML codes integrated with the designs, present themselves well on all browsers.
Designing is not just about looking good, attractive, and colorful. Your designer needs to have a grasp of online marketing, optimizing graphics, and cross browser designers. S/he should also keenly follow the competition in both the web design field, as well as in your business.
Loading time is an important factor designers need to consider. Your web designers should be able to resize images to reduce upload time. Designers should also be able to work with various HTML tools like Dreamweaver and FrontPage, and graphics editors like Photoshop, Fireworks, and many more. Ideally, look for a designer who has dabbled a bit in programming, and has some experience in online marketing.
