A first call with a web designer can feel like it's mostly about them pitching you. Flip it: this is your chance to find out how they actually work, before any money changes hands. These are the questions that get past the sales pitch.
About the Process
- What does your process look like from our first call to launch?
- How many rounds of revisions are included, and what happens if we need more?
- Who writes the content, and who provides the photos?
- What's a realistic timeline for a project like mine, specifically?
About Ownership and Support
- Will I own the domain, hosting account, and website files, or will they be locked to your account?
- What happens after launch? Is there a support plan, or am I on my own?
- If I want to leave in a year, can I take the site with me?
About Fit
- Have you built sites for businesses like mine before?
- Can I talk to a past client?
- What do you need from me to keep this project moving on schedule?
Pay attention not just to the answers, but to how directly they're given. A good designer answers these plainly, because they already know clients need to hear them.
