What should I look for when hiring a web designer?
A web designer should provide a strong portfolio on their own website. You need to see real examples of their work, not just static screenshots, so you can test navigation, user experience, and responsive design. Red flags to watch for are no portfolio, screen captures without live site links, or non-functional examples.
