Finding a Web Designer on Craigslist
Finding a web designer in Craigslist could be a good deal and at the same time an ordeal. Craigslist is one of the top free classified websites that pulls an incredible huge amount of traffic each month. You will find almost anything in Craigslist on the services section.
Here is the deal; small web design companies will advertise in Craigslist for the reasons mentioned before; Craigslist is free and the monthly traffic is huge. So what is this telling you? Well, that anyone capable or not capable of designing a website can advertise in Craigslist. Big companies do not waste their time on Craigslist; solid web design companies will spend thousands of dollars in media and advertisement on search engines like Google, Yahoo and many others. So here comes the equation:
A solid company that spends thousands of dollars in advertising means that it is trustworthy. On the other hand a web design company that advertises on Craigslist is equivalent to: I HOPE THIS WORKS.
But you can find a good web design service in Craigslist. All you need to do follow the following rules:
1. Start by taking a look at the web designer’s website
2. Next take a look at his portfolio
3. Very Important; make sure that his portfolio is about real live websites not templates.
4. Send him an email and start a countdown, if it takes more than 2 hours for a response forget about this company (nights not included)
5. If there is a phone number (and there should be one) call him and listen to his greeting. “Hello” just won’t do it!
