[Rex Curtis]

I know the feeling when you are going to buy something you know
nothing about and after you have been made a fooled by some scammer
then the feeling of agony that why didn't you asked your friends or
asked expert for this type of job.
I had my websites designed and redesigned many times and I have helped
many of my associates to find qualified web designer but I think its
time to share my understanding with everybody because one and all
should know how to find a high-class web designer that's why I have
decided to right a entire article about this topic and I hope after
reading these ten guidelines on finding a skilled web designer you
will never be fooled by any scammers.
Expert designers will fit in the following profile:
1. He/She should know how to write the HTML code (which is the core of
any webpage)
2. He/She should know how to use Cascading Style Sheets (controls font
colors and sizes and removes code bloat )
3. He/She should have the skill of Search Engine Optimization (how to
get high ranking for your keywords)
4. He/She should have the skill of designing logos, navigating
graphics and editing images
5. He/She should have the understanding of where to submit your site
to gain links and traffic)
6. He/She should have his own website .com/ .net/ .org
7. He/She should have reference to his past jobs on his website
(Portfolio)
8. He/She should be able to correspond with you in English 24/7 either
via messenger or phone)
9. He/She should be willing to provide sample of your website before
making full payment? (if they are then they are professional without
any doubt)
10. Google's listing of the Designer's site
If your web designer is an skilled in Search Engine Optimization then
his own website must be easy to find on Google because most of people
come on your website from Google.
Use this query in Google site: PutTheirDomainHere.com
For example www.1websitedesign.net (one of the top web designers I
have worked with.)
This will show where they stand on Google.
Titles and Descriptions
See if the titles of their pages are all the same and also the
descriptions. If they are, then the designer knows nothing about SEO
because utilizing distinctive titles for each page and descriptions
that reflects the content of that page are one of the most vital
keyword ranking gear in web design and later on can get a site
penalized and it can take months to recuperate so its wise to find
another web designer or web designing company.
Very Few Pages Listed
See if Google has all their pages listed. You can estimate how many
pages they have on their website by running your mouse over their menu
and counting links on their home page. If Google only has their home
page listed then search engines have a problem surfing their site and
the same thing will arise to your website so it's wise to find someone
better to do this job.
With these guidelines you are sure to find a high-quality web designer
in no time.
