Which Blog Designer Do I Choose?

There are so many people that do custom blog designs on the Internet. So many amazingly talented people that have pages and pages of gorgeous sites!  I find it fun to go through the different sites and see the creativeness that pours from everyone’s work!

I think with this said, not every designer has the ability to come up with a design you will love. I think its important to take somethings into consideration before deciding who you will hire.

1- I think its important to choose a blog designer that has the style that you love. Its easy to see some sites full of pretty classic designs and others with funky modern ones.  You see maybe they specialize in a certain shape of layout that comes pretty standard in all their work.  If you tend you like alot of what they have created you are probably in the right place. But if you are finding yourself not excited by much- its probably best to keep looking.

2- Communication is huge! My personal blog is a window to my heart. Its all people know about me up for display on that computer screen. It shows my personality and my interests all wrapped up! You need to feel completely comfortable communicating with your designer so they are understanding the message you are trying to send with your design.

3- Make sure changes are allowedor understand what you might be stuck with if they are not. I notice on some sites people say that they will only make up to 3 changes to your design. This I understand because a lot of work goes into creating the design and changing it. But even with that said. If there is a part of your blog you are not liking… You should be able to have that fixed. You need to love it in the end. Enough Said.

4- I know cost is an issue too. Everyone loves free layouts but wants to have an original site.  Think about what you want to come with your site and if those extra features are included with your design. Consider the time spent on your layout, how much you are asking and if it makes sense.  Is their a guarantee with your design?  Paying a price to designer may promise for you to get exactly what you want and make sure its stays functioning. Honestly with as many designers as there are, I don’t believe you have to pay alot to get a great design!

I hope this has helped you a little. Any other questions. You can find me right here!
