This is the first of a series of articles on Questions to Ask Your Web Designer.
Whether you are looking to have a website built, or you are already working with a web designer on a project, here are some specific and critical questions to ask that should help your organization assess your designer’s experience, professionalism and know-how:
Question 1: Are you familiar with web standards?
This question is very important to ask because it will tell you how much experience the designer really has. If they are dedicated to seeking industry-standards and continuing to be educated about new technologies, they will use web standards in their design. It is also important for maintaining websites as well as usability. If you find a designer who is unaware of web standards – or feels they are unimportant – the designer is likely to be an amature.
I spoke with a web designer whose response to, “Do you use web standards?” was avoided and eventually noted that web standards were not necessarily needed. It was obvious that he didn’t know what I was talking about.
The correct response should be something along the lines of: “Yes, I code valid XHTML and CSS.” They might also ask you if you are talking about accessibility. If they can code pages that are accessible it shows they understand the web standards movement.

JailBreak has found a new way to approach an old problem. For most small business owners, websites are considered an accessory – something to strive towards but hard to achieve.
Why?
- It’s expensive to buy a website
- It’s complicated and confusing
- Sometimes people don’t know the value
But with 350 million users hitting Facebook this month, most are coming to realize that social media is not a fad – it is actually a means for people to make their buying decisions. The need for websites has never been greater.
Hosting providers like Godaddy.com and Yahoo offer site builders and overnight websites that are affordable. Unfortunately the price tag reflects the quality of the sites. They look like something from the 1990’s, and they work like it, too. They are so low quality that search engines can’t even find them… making them useful as ugly online business cards, but nothing more.
Well look no further! JailBreak Creative realizes the need for affordable yet high-quality websites that are search engine friendly. Starting January 1st we have payment options for semi-custom and some select custom websites.
Get the website you want at a price you can afford!
Most companies and organizations opt for the cheaper websites because its all they can afford. Well, now you can get the website that you need (or want) at the price you can afford.
Option 1: Monthly Payments
Make monthly payments as low as $50/month depending on the scope of your project. This option requires 10% down and accrues interest.
Option 2: Three Total Payments
Time your website with your payments by making 3 separate payments pending on the timeline of your project! Pay no interest!
Option 3: Pay in Full for a Discount
Pay your website off in-full on the project start date and get 5% off your entire project!
