By searching online for a web designer or web design company, you will return a list of website designers and web design companies. This is often a very good place to start because you can start the vetting process right then and there.
2. Narrow Your List

3. Identify the Best Value
Look for designers whose prices are in your price range but also have a quality portfolio of professional and eye-catching designs that stand out and make a great impression. Discuss your timeframe for getting the project live and whether or not they are able to fit your project into their roster in order to deliver your project on the go live date that you have set for yourself.
4. Make a Decision
After you have spoken to the designers or a web consultants at a web design company and obtained their pricing, the next step is making a decision on who you would like to move forward with. Think back to how knowledgeable, easy to talk to the people that you spoke to were, perhaps one company you had a connection with rather than the other.
