This should help with that discussion process. Find out if the potential designer has experience in the the area of the services needed. Does the potential designer create good products? Are those who use the offered services satisfied? Do they like working with him? Finally, for price comparison, get a bid for the project not an hourly rate because different designers work at different speeds.
For examples of my work simply look under the various headings of Print Design, Web Design or Other Design. I ran a typesetting business in the 80's then a graphic design company in the 90's producing products for printing. I began designing web sites in 1995. My site designs are in HTML. I use Flash, JavaScript and CSS technology to make sites dynamic and enhance viewer experience for a particular site. I am familiar with methods to optimize sites for search engines and can work with a marketing team to improve rankings.
I strive to give my clients what they need and want within any budget constraints they may be operating under.
In addition to building web sites, I also offer training in basic web design, flash fundamentals. Some sites are are created merely to create a presence on the web and need little maintenance but if you are the kind of person who would like to do it yourself or have someone on your staff make changes and updates, I would be happy to train them.
I have worked in the marketing department of various companies. Marketing is often a weak area in companies and internet marketing is often vital. I can recommend top-notch marketing people with proven track records to enhance search engine rankings, traffic and interest in your services and products. I also know very skilled video production people to assist by creating videos for your site and marketing purposes.
Choosing a host for your site and acquiring domain names are other areas where I may be of assistance. Many of my clients are hosted with PowWeb. I have used them for several years now and the service only gets better. If you want to check them out, click here: Host your Web site with PowWeb!
