Finding the right designer for you
Thursday, April 29th, 2010I’ve been operating a business online for about seven years now, and I find that I don’t really need anything other than a website, telephone number and e mail address to sell my stock and operate a very successful business. Unfortunately I have seen a slight decrease in sales coming from my main site in recent months, despite a similar amount of traffic arriving at my site. Having looked through all the ins and outs of this I finally decided that it was due to a somewhat old fashioned looking web page. The designs on the page looked pretty dated since the sites inception seven years ago!
I decided to give the site a bit of a revamp and started looking into finding a designer who could come up with some really modern looking images. I was pretty shocked when I started coming across prices though! A lot had changed in the last seven years and all of the local companies were charging some pretty high fees for the work I wanted carrying out. I decided to try my luck online and had a search about. Before too long I came across a site which advertised freelancing designers and illustrators. The amount of people available to work was immense, and the site was well thought out. All I had to do was post my preferences on the site and designers came back to me with suggestions and prices, along with examples of their work.
I have to say that this was the route I took to revamp my site and it resulted in some of the most professional and cheap work I have ever commissioned.
