Here are the most important things you should consider before selecting a programmer / designer.
- Portfolio (not always very important)
- Skills
- Revision (if you are connected to a free web site)
- Or the hourly rate for work
When you first contact a freelancer for his name and nicknames & Website / Portfolio and Google. Perhaps you will find very interesting information about him (perhaps complaints from customers) and we both now you do not want to waste my time rite? Most people do not do this and I think it is very important.
Second, request a portfolio, but keep in mind that many good programmers there without portfolio. I know some of them:) Even if a good designer, I think, is still a strong portfolio to impress potential clients.
A few tips if you’re a designer:
- Very friendly
- He said examples of how models and ideas as possible from the first
- Encourage him, even if it is not the first concept that you are looking for, never say “I do not suck!” Because he will lose interest groups.
- Be Creative (very important) for your project, there are people asking why xxxx.com few changes, and this is unacceptable. He knows that you are inexperienced.
- Learn about your project, your opinion on the conditions, so that you can drive from the manufacturer. It is very important if you want to pay for the project twice.
The worst thing you can do:
- You pay a pre-agreed that all the money for the project, of course, motivated seller 0, if it is not very reliable;
- Enter the payment in the course of the project (if it is in an escrow account) that require most suppliers of these, beware!
- Start of the project without the slightest idea about programming and design.
- Self-employed do not pay the work on time as agreed. This can make a bad name, your name on Google.
- Use of copyrighted work with the freelancer, even if you did not pay for his work (using Alt + F4) phone, if you did
These are some ideas that I could have come from.
