Web design as well what transactions are being performed on the web has changed drastically over the last five years. The web has moved from a plain information board to a mostly dynamically driven transaction platform with banking, shopping etc. all done online by now.

Before you choose a web designer to create your web project you should focus & decide on the following points:

• Do I need a static website or a dynamic web site with full fledged ecommerce facilities?
• Is my brand well known & I mainly need to create an aesthetically outstanding website?
• Will I want somebody to be able to create an online web campaign for my site?
• Do I need somebody who mainly focuses on seo (search engine optimisation)?
• What will be more important, programming knowledge or gaphic design skills?
• What type of budget am I willing to spend?
• Will I need additional skills, such as a photographer?
• Who is the target online market of my product?

Once you have decided and taken notes of the points above you should look at least at 10 different web design companies considering your needs and their strenghts and skills. Then bring your selection down to about three and request quotations being as precise as possible with what you wish to do.

Well, and then of course - Good Luck!
