Not all web designers are created equal. Some red flags can signal trouble ahead—missed deadlines, poor communication, budget overruns, or disappointing results. Here are the warning signs to watch for during the hiring process.
A designer who jumps straight to aesthetics without understanding your business objectives is building a website for themselves, not for your success.
Vague timelines and undefined deliverables are recipes for project drift, missed deadlines, and scope creep.
If every site looks the same, you are paying for a template customization, not custom design.
No one can guarantee search rankings. Promises of instant #1 positions are either naive or dishonest.
Working without a contract exposes you to significant risk. Verbal agreements are not enforceable.
If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Quality web design requires skilled professionals.
Websites need maintenance. A designer who disappears after launch leaves you vulnerable.
Avoid these red flags by working with a transparent, process-driven agency. Let us show you how we do things differently.
