In more than eight-years working in the web design industry, the most common complaint I hear from business owners is their web designer sucks.

When I dig a little deeper as to why they suck, the typical responses are:

* They don’t understand my business* They created something that isn’t aligned to what my business actually does* Their design doesn’t fit my audience* I can’t even get in contact with them to fix all these problems* They are just too painful for me to work with

There are hundreds of things that could have happened over time for these responses to become a reality.

However, the bottom line is there are too many crappy web designers and WordPress web design companies out there who consistently get these kinds of complaints from their customers.

If you’re looking for a great web designer to work with on your next project, don’t let this be you.

The good news is this does not have to happen at all if you ask the right questions to make the right decisions when searching for the right web designer for you and your business.

Myself and my business partner, Joseph, have described the four key steps in detail in our very first episode of the Web3 Podcast, which you can listen to below.
