What to Avoid When Hiring a Web or Graphic Designer

Are you a small business owner or marketing manager seeking to hire a website designer or graphic designer? Before you do, you must read this great article by Andy Rutledge entitled Don’t Walk; Run.

He discusses how to save yourself time and money, and to get what you want out of your company’s creative projects. Too many designers simply don’t ask questions or ask the wrong questions, and are more concerned with where a pixel should go rather than meeting your business needs. Rutledge’s article is frank and to the point, and will help you identify a designer who is just as passionate about achieving your business goals as you are.

    Yes, he’s got some great insights for those of us offering creative services (and in this case for those searching for designers). I’m working on reading more of his articles.

  3. That was a great read. This one gem “as for spec work, any company or individual who agrees to do any tangible work on the project without first obtaining a signed contract AND then conducting an exhaustive discovery process is a hack agency” as many others showed how Andy Rutledge could use such an in-your-face title for the article.

    I like this guy.
