5. Does your designer optimize your pages and submit them to search engines? If they don’t then you will end up having to pay for this service, or figure out how to do it yourself. A web designer may not have 100% of SEO tools out there, but at very least, your website designer should create your meta tags, make sure your keywords are sprinkled throughout your content and at least submit your site to basic directories and engines.

6. Is your web designer just designing your pages and leaving domain name and hosting up to you? Beware of this. Sometimes their quotes only include design itself. If you don’t understand domain names and hosting, you need to make sure your webmaster purchases your domain for you and sets up your hosting—and then manages this year after year. Websites with top level domain names (.com, .net, .org) are taken more seriously. So it wouldn’t make much sense to have a professionally designed site hosted on a free site like Geocities.

7. Does your webmaster offer a guarantee? If you can’t get your designer to create a look that you like, will you be able to get your money back? Find out if this is in your contract before you fork over your cash.
