Using Fiverr How to Find A Good Website Designer
So you’re thinking about hiring a website designer or having a go at it yourself? First question, What’s your time worth?
When you start your journey with Web design and development you may find the learning curve is steep and time consuming.
Let’s say you spend 30 hours learning all the ‘how to’ just enough to get a functional website developed that suits your needs? Would it be be worth it?
The second question you must ask yourself:
Do I want to become a website developer or is it a better use of my time do what I do best and hire out the rest?
What’s so special about website design? Well, all that content, copy, and specially integrated functions like you would see on a storefront website can add levels of complexity and price. However,
It’s basically all made of the the same stuff.
To make the point, let’s imagine two homes are being built, one by an Amateur, the other by a master builder. Both craftsman start out with the same amount and type of wood. You would think the quality of the two finished houses might be obvious both aesthetically, and more importantly, on a foundational level. And you would probably be right.
Websites are all made of the same stuff too, but this stuff is called code. HTML code gives it structure, CSS code gives it aesthetics and JavaScript gives it functionality.
On Fiverr there are plenty of pro’s more than capable of handling your website design needs.
