3 Important Rules to Keep In Mind When Hiring Your Legal Website Designer

When deciding who to hire to create your legal website, it is important to keep several things in mind so that you make the right decision.

1.    Make Sure That You Own the Rights to Your Domain Name and Your Original Website Files

When you purchase your domain name, then make sure it is from a quality domain register and that it is under your name, not the name of your website designer.  It is also normally cheaper to purchase the domain from a separate source aside form your website designer.  In simplicity, a website is a collection of files.  When you are paying for a website to be designed for you, you need to make sure that you own these files and know how to access them in case you need to yourself, or change designers for maintenance purposes once the initial website is designed.  Owning your domain name and files also give you some sense of autonomy and gives you some leverage over your website designer.

2.    Determining Whether Your Website Designer is Actually Listening to You

You need to be able to communicate effectively in order for you to get the website that you want.  This means that your website designer must be able to listen to you.  It doesn’t matter if you are having a face to face meeting, using email, or on the phone your website designer must be able to listen to what you want in order to give it to you.  You should also enjoy talking to your website designer, because you will be talking to them quite a bit.

3.    Understand Your Website Designers Skills

What language aside from HTML/XHTML does your website designer know how to use.  Do they understand how to install and use the applications and programs that you want on your website.  Can they design and use aspects like blogs, PHP, MySQL databases?  You need to ask what they can do and make sure that you have examples of each of these skills.

By following these three rules, you will be able make sure that you and your website designer can work well together and they can design the website that you not only want but deserve.
