Chosing the right web site designer for your church site
|
Choosing the right web site designer for your church could be a tricky business. Right, just think about the fact that there are so many people out there saying they know how to design websites. Well, they could say, how difficult church web site design could be? Just like any other design job. Right? Wrong!
| First of all, church web site design is not as easy as it looks. Then, due to the particularities of the domain, it could be tricky.So you should pick a designer that know the business. Ask for a portfolio, and why not, a particular church web design portfolio, sites that he designed for churches.
It is your right to ask this kind of things. And he should have the pleasure to show you his previous work. If not, then you should think twice before using him for the job. |
Also, being an experience church web site designer is not enough. Maybe he is good!Maybe he is very good in designing church sites, but hey, sometimes, skills come with a particular infatuation. Am I right? I bet you agree with me! So the person should also be easy to talk to, easy to collaborate with. Otherwise you will hate the moment you started the job.
I had this kind of collaboration, I picked a developer who said everything will be fine, the church web sites he designed were great, but the person...well, I never could get in touch with him when I needed the most. That was not good. I dropped him after 2 weeks of hard work and no visible result. It was a tough experience that I used in order to learn a lesson. This is the best I could get out of that experience. And remember, he was a great church site designer!
So, if you can, ask some references from his previous clients. I know that this is not an easy thing to do. But try. If he said that he designed a particular site, go to the contact page of that site and try contacting the owner of the site. Ask him a few things about how his site was started, how was the relationship to the developer, etc. You will find interesting things, I am sure...
