There are a lot of different web designers out there. You can find them anywhere you go because web design has become such a lucrative business. There are less web design companies out there than there are freelancers. The difference between a freelancer and a web design company is that a freelancer doesn’t work under any company. They do their work by themselves and aren’t necessarily governed by any rules. A web design company has been registered and has to follow certain guidelines. It is usually a team of people all working together to keep the business going.
When deciding to choose a web designer/developer to build your wedding/event website you should choose carefully. The world of web design is a really screwy place because people don’t really have a lot of knowledge about it. There are a few things that you can do to help with your decision. One thing would be to get everything in writing. Although you will most likely not ever be required to sign a contract with a web designer, especially a freelancer, you can still have piece of mind. This way it is clear to you and your web designer what you’re expecting and what needs to be done on your wedding/event website.
Another idea would be to not pay for everything up front. Although a lot of designers will ask you to pay at least a deposit up front, none should ask for it all. This is a warning sign and you should think twice about why they would want all your money up front like that. There are plenty of scammers out there that will have you pay them and disappear. This is another benefit to hiring a web design company, because they are situated in one area and are grounded. There are a lot of monsters out there in the world of web design; be careful with who you choose. For more information on event web design check us out at DreamCo Design – Event Web Design.
