Hiring a website designer is a big decision — your website is your digital storefront, marketing tool, and first impression all in one. But with so many freelancers, agencies, and platforms out there, how do you choose the right one?





Whether you're launching your first site or redesigning an outdated one, asking the right questions can make the difference between success and frustration. As a Wix Certified Partner, I’ve compiled the most important questions you should ask any designer — along with the answers you should look for.


10 Essential Questions to Ask Your Website Designer


1. Are you a certified or verified expert on the platform you use?

Look for: A Wix Certified Partner, which means they’ve been vetted by Wix and proven to meet high standards in design, development, and SEO.


2. Can I see your portfolio or examples of past work?

Look for: A designer who showcases live websites, preferably in your industry or similar to your needs.


3. Do you offer SEO services as part of the website build?

Look for: A designer who understands both Wix SEO Basics and Advanced SEO — your site should launch optimized from day one.


4. Will my website be mobile-friendly and responsive?

Look for: A “yes” with confidence. In 2025, every site must be mobile-optimized — preferably built in Wix Studio for modern responsiveness.


5. What happens after launch — do you offer support or maintenance?

Look for: Someone who offers Wix Website Support, maintenance, and ongoing updates — not just a one-and-done project.


6. How do you handle revisions and feedback during the project?

Look for: A clear, structured process that includes collaborative feedback rounds with deadlines.


7. How long will it take to complete my site?

Look for: Realistic timelines based on the project scope — and someone who communicates clearly if delays arise.


8. Can I update the website myself later on?

Look for: A designer who empowers you with tutorials, documentation, or a handover session — and a site built to be manageable.


9. Do you work with Wix Studio, Classic Editor, or both?

Look for: Experience in both platforms, with the ability to recommend what fits your goals best.

10. Do you offer packages or flat-rate pricing?

Look for: Transparency and clarity. See our Website Packages or Book a Free Consultation to learn more.
