How To Work With a Web Designer

What they will probably ask from you, even if they don’t you should forward this stuff to them!

So you’re ready to start your website development project (with me or any other website designer). Congratulations! You’re ahead of the game, you’ve dodged the trap of those mass produced website builders which steal your content and give you the worst possible outcome for your business, bravo!

You’re probably asking yourself a list of questions: How much does it cost to hire a web designer? How do I hire someone to design my website? What do I need to know before hiring a web designer? Who should I hire to build my website? How much does creating a website cost? Is it worth building your own website?

Here is a list of things that your website designer will ask you for. Even if you haven’t had a consultation with us yet or if you’re working with another website developer here’s a list of things that any good web designer is going to ask you for.

If they don’t it’s a huge red flag that they are either cutting corners or don’t know what they are doing and you should seek advice from an experienced website designer before it is too late!

Here’s what I, your website designer, am asking for from you the client:

  • Your Logo (PDF, EPS or high res JPEG if possible)
  • Hosting Login (hosting account and/or Cpanel login)**
  • Current Website Login 
  • Analytics Access (we make decisions based on data, hopefully your old website developer has been collecting it for you!)
  • Images or any new pictures you’d like to use for the new site
  • Brand style guide, colors or any special graphics being used

You might not have all or any of these things but don’t worry, we make it easy for you. If you don’t it’s no problem but providing your website designer with as much info as you possibly can make things smoother and result in the best possible outcome.

Andrew is passionate and very knowledgeable about SEO and web design. He partners with clients to increase their online presence and grow their businesses in a way that most small businesses aren’t able to do on their own. I would highly recommend Wicked Modern Websites!

Andrew is truly a master at his craft, he has been a huge help in getting my google profile in line with their ( complicated ) verification process. The insight you gain just from a 30 minute conversation with him is priceless. I would recommend anyone who is serious about their businesses online reputation to reach out to Andrew and his team at Wicked Modern Websites.
