5 Benefits of Hiring a Professional Web Designer [+ Marty Note]

5 Benefits of Hiring a Professional Web Designer [+ Marty Note] | Thank You Economy Revolution | Scoop.it
Find out some of the benefits that you will get from hiring a professional web designer...


Marty Note
Excellent article and reasoning here. For websites designed by pros I would include: 

* Convert better (caveat below). 
* Be FASTER (very important).
* SEO Better.

I could go on, but why (lol). If you don't want a pro to do your web design after reading those three BIG ones then I'm not going to change your mind with a long list (and good luck to you by the way).

Caveat
My caveat is you pay designers to think about beauty. Great designers like the ones I work with at Atlantic BT also think about SEO and conversion. Not ALL designers think beyond the pretty pictures and that can HURT your website.


Listen for how potential designers think about SEO, conversion and handing the keys to the car to YOU to maintain.

This last idea is the MOST IMPORTANT one. You must learn to fish with the website a designer builds for you. If they create something so complicated only they can maintain it they've hurt your website.


They (any designer) can't move as fast or as well as YOU in your vertical so never get strung out by an overly complicated design and make sure you know how you will maintain THEIR design.

Choose Between Money and Love And You Know What Should Win

Choose Between Money and Love And You Know What Should Win | Thank You Economy Revolution | Scoop.it

This discussion seems to be always too hard.

I am coming to realize that regardless of being profitable or not, doing what you love is the way to go.

Don't know what you wanna be when you grow up? Well... pick what you like to do most at this very same moment and go for it.

If you change your mind, you then can decide whether you should quit again and pursuit something else. 

 

Another good reading on this line of thought is "The Dip" by Seth Godin.

 

Please fail. And fail a lot. But be sure you get into something because you love it and are willing to work hard for it to overcome the difficulties. Otherwise it may not be worth investing your time in it.

***** Agree. I left corporate America after reading Your Money Or Your Life to start FoundObjects.com (now RIP). Ever play with magnetic words on a refrigerator or locker? Chances are our specialty gift company sold Magnetic Poetry Kit to the specialty gift store you purchased them from - so our company touched millions of people. Then we failed, but creating one of the first B2C and B2B websites meant I found a job in this new thing called Internet marketing as a Director of Ecommerce. I loved selling things online and helped my employers make millions.

Then I quit to ride a bicycle across America because, as a cancer survivor, I know life is not an infinite journey :). Got home from a 3,000 mile bicycle ride and found a great job as a Director of Internet Marketing for Raleigh web developers Atlantic BT. Somehow things work out, so Do What You Love and The Money Will Follow (another good book). I agree with The Dip as being a great, fast read on the importance of knowing if you are in a dip or at a dead end.

Inspirational Scoop. Thanks.
Marty
