6 Tips for Selecting the Best Logo or Website Designer

So, you’ve come up with a brilliant new idea for a business. Or maybe it’s time for a refresh of your existing brand or website. Now you need to pick a designer to work with. How do you choose?

Here are six simple tips to consider for your logo or website designer:

1. Portfolio

You’ll want to see the previous work of your logo or website designer and check that you like the designs and also that you feel the designer is a ‘fit’ with your values, style, budget etc

2. Personality

You’re going to be working closely with this designer and this design company. Sharing your ideas. Sharing your vision for your business. You want someone who can LISTEN and UNDERSTAND you and your ideas. You want someone who will be as passionate as you are about your business. Someone who is truly on your team and understands that your success is their success.

3. Previous experience

Has your designer been in the industry for a while? Choosing a logo or website designer with experience can mean avoiding hiccups and errors. An experienced designer has probably already made errors earlier in their careers and learnt from them. You can get straight down to business without jumping through unnecessary hoops.

4. Past Testimonials

Can you read any testimonials from previous clients? Hearing what other clients have to say can be reassuring and give you an insight into what to expect. Look for evidence that the clients really exist by searching for their work in the designer’s portfolio and if possible viewing their website.

5. Price

When it comes to design work, you could pay anything from $5 to $50,000 – but you get what you pay for. Think about what this logo or website design is WORTH to you. How much will this investment affect the success of your business? This is often the first impression your clients will get. Enquire if your designer charges by the hour or works to an agreed upon flat-rate.

6. Professionalism

Do you feel you can trust this design company? Do they return your emails? Did they show up to the meeting on time? Do you feel they can represent your brand? Can they spell correctly? A good designer should feel like a part of your team. They have the potential to launch your business to the next level, or waste your time, money and patience, so choose carefully.

Once you’ve researched these points, you should be feeling comfortable and happy to proceed with your project and chosen designer.
