This document provides tips to avoid being scammed when hiring a web designer. It advises to hire reputable designers from established companies who can provide references and guarantee their work. Designers offering extremely low prices or unable to provide specifics about past work should be avoided. When hiring a freelancer, ask for references and examples of past work to ensure quality before paying deposits that may never be returned.

1. AVOID A WEB DESIGN SCAM
Have you ever been a victim of a web design scam? Here are solutions to avoid such scenario.
Find a designer with good prices and a nice wallet. Please send a couple of times, you get a
quote for the job and decide to hire the person. Once they get their deposit, you never hear
from them again. Or the work is done, you make the final payment, then you never have the
final site design.
As a website designer and owner of a company's website design, we listened to all the horror
stories of new customers who were ripped off, cheated or completely drawn to the boy or girl's
table that could "make websites". With every wrinkle and expensive heart bloody history we
want we could somehow interfere with the customer before a better way deceived or take.
Here is the hard truth to swallow. Yes, website designers are a dimes of dozen. But do not just
be at the price ass the crucial factor of the online presence of your company. In nine out of ten,
you will be very disappointed.
If you see a website design company, always go for the real once, the time you are hiring or you
want a freelancer who cannot paint a great picture, and do it cheap at a cheaper price. This
decision is wrong on the idea that saves money.
In fact, a design company website is likely to give an equally aggressive price offer. Also, get the
added benefit of a portfolio, case studies, and references and guarantee that a client will reply
to all requests when you need help. The last part of this list is worth its weight in gold.
Hopefully you have paid through PayPal (or credit card) and to submit a dispute to get your
money back. Email tell the designer last time and "If I do not hear from you before the
stipulated date, I will file a dispute with PayPal." Once the date passes, do not hesitate - you get
your money back and pull it off.
Contact the designer before making a decision to place order. Some designers may not feel
comfortable with that, and while it is your choice, ask yourself if you are fine with hiring
someone you cannot even speak with first.
While there are some surprising freelancers, please take precaution and common sense in
awarding it to them. Do not be afraid to ask for references, references and living examples.
When it comes to that dirty acronym "SEO", do not take the word designer web pages into it.
Ask for specific examples of high-ranking sites. If you follow these simple instructions, you can
find a good reputation autonomous. However, do not rule out a real website design company
either. You can only be surprised at what you discover.
Do not be a tightwad. Yes, there are people who offer for $ 75 website design, but that does
not mean that the quality will be great. Super cheap work design is often a sign of a possible
fraud. This means you should also compare the prices to ensure that you do not pay more than
$ 10,000 for a single work of $ 500.

2. Come prepared. Do some research and have a good idea of what you are looking for. The more
details you specify, the easier it will be for your designers to meet your expectations.
Go with your intentions. If anything at all gives you pause or causes concern, do yourself a
favor and don’t hire that designer. Chances are you’re feeling that way for a reason.
