Benefits Disadvantages Is dropshipping for you?

site operating flawlessly, hiring a web designer is an excellent 
choice in most cases. It’s a long term investment, and while it may 
hurt your wallet now, it will pay for itself in due time.
The options for finding a web designer are the same as finding a logo designer. You 
can reach out to your network, find a freelancer online, or work with a design firm. 
However, since web design can cost a pretty penny, you’ll want to put even more 
thought and research into finding the perfect web designer. It’s always a good idea 
to chat with the designer if possible and see if he or she is on the same page as 
you and understands your vision.
As I mentioned in the logo design section, fraudulent designers can be an issue. 
Many ‘designers’ just set up a WordPress site and charge a premium fee for it. If 
you don’t even know how to use WordPress, this isn’t a bad option, but the point is 
that you need to do your homework before paying anybody. Make sure you’re clear 
on what a designer will do for you.

7. Branding
161
A good web designer will be able to answer your questions, integrate your 
branding, and showcase work they’ve done in the past. Ideally you want a designer 
who has created retail sites before. Since online stores require more work than 
other sites, it’s important you work with someone who’s used to it. A designer who’s 
unfamiliar with how ecommerce stores work could end up creating a site that’s not 
exactly optimized for converting and selling.
If you think you’ve found the right designer for you, you might want to email 
the people or businesses they’ve worked with before. Getting honest, personal 
testimonials can speak volumes about a designer’s quality. At the very least, check 
out previous sites the designer has done and take a thorough look at them. Are 
they visually and functionally similar to what you’re looking for?
