web designI am starting to do web design and development for clients and part of this involves coming up with proposals. My goal isn’t to take business from other web designers, but rather it is to grow the market by making it higher quality. In communicating with clients, I have come up with several questions that they should ask any web designer or developer before hiring them.

Q1) Who maintains ownership of the domain?
Q2) Do you have any expertise in web marketing?
Q3) Are your designs standards compliant?
Q4) Do you ensure that all content is free from errors and search engine optimized?
Q5) What is your web development philosophy?
Q6) What websites have you designed?

I know these questions seem pretty corny, but believe it or not, many non tech savvy people do need to get web design and development work done and haven’t got a clue as to the answers. Answering these questions can easy become a sales pitch if written correctly.

I’d love to add to this list so if you have some great questions to add to this list, please leave them in the comments.
