How Hiring a Web Designer Can Save You Money

You have a business or are starting one and you have a To-Do list as long as your arm.  Where do you start?  With Your Website!

How hiring a web designer can save you money

Once you have defined your brand and message, you need to begin yelling from the rooftops and your website is going to be the one of the first places you should start yelling.  But you don’t know how to build a website or maybe you do but you don’t have 25 hours a week to work on it.  This is where hiring a web designer will not only save you time, but money!

Being a branding photographer, I love when clients have a web designer onboard.  The first thing I always do with clients is an extensive consultation to get to know them, their business and their current brand.  If you are just starting out or you have never clearly defined your brand, we will do that.  The next thing we do is design and plan the photoshoot.  This is where the web designer comes in.  Before I pick up the camera, I need to know exactly how I need to photograph you.  Do you need specific banner images?  Do you need a few lifestyle images?  Do you need a specific headshot image?  What size do your images need to be to work best on your site?  Working with your web designer, you will have an idea of what your website will look like and where images will be displayed.  Your web designer can give you specs for image sizes and orientation.

Yes, hiring a web designer will cost some money, but it is well worth it to get your site done quickly and the best it can be and it will save you money in the long run.  (I have a great designer I recommend who spreads out payments over 12 months so you can design your site, get it up and running and tweak it over a whole year!  Check out Build A Better Web.Site  Dave and his team will take good care of you.)  If you hire a branding photographer and do your shoot without knowing what your website will look like, then you may be wasting money on images that just don’t work.
