How to hire a graphic designer?

Question

I am developing the backend for a website. I always had the trouble of making an attractive design for my websites and have never hired any graphic designer yet. I have no logo nor web template.What are the steps to hire a graphic designer? What information should I read about before hiring one in order to make most out of our time? Where should I find him? What questions should I ask him? How much do they charge and what qualifications should I look out for? Should I disclose my business ideas to the designer or could that be risky?

Answer 1

You should look for an experienced graphic designer that has good background and proven work proof. Ask for people that have worked with him and their experience. To make most of the time, have a discussion of your ideas and make sure he has the concept clearly on his mind, so that when he starts designing it won't take a lot of time. Ask the person if he has worked with other clients before. They charge between $20 to $100 per hour depending on experience. Have a confidentiality agreement signed with the graphic designer. Hope this helps.
