Web Designer Freelance Interview Question:

Tell me will you be doing the design work yourself? If not you, who?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Whether working with a freelancer web designer or a small design company, you need to be clear about who will actually be designing your site. If it's not the person you are speaking with, learn how your ideas and feedback will be communicated to the design team. Even if you are working with a freelancer, don't automatically assume they will be doing all the work themselves. It's worth asking if they will be contracting out your project to a more junior designer, outsourcing it overseas, or even handing it off to a virtual assistant.

You don't want all your feedback and requests to go thru middlemen as this offers too many chances for miscommunication. Know who will be doing the work and make sure you'll have direct contact with that person.
