- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Graphic design is a skilled profession which requires much training, knowledge, and investment on the part of practitioners. All too often, small businesses try to save money by hiring students or hobby artists. This can end up costing more in the long run with slow and unprofessional results, poorly constructed files, and unsatisfactory communication. Remember that in addition to salary, an independent contractor must cover overhead expenses such as equipment, business taxes, insurance, and non-billable time in their fees. Look for a designer with experience who will listen to your needs, communicate well, and be upfront with pricing and abilities. Your contract or proposal should clearly outline details such as timeline, who will supply content, how many rounds of changes are included, and how subcontracted services such as printing, web hosting, and technical or creative services will be handled.
