I've been wanting to update my website for years but trying to communicate long distance (emails) with a web designer proved to be impossible. Web designers aren't exactly technical minded and certainly not for a niche product like my own.
Long story short. I found someone (professional) only 10 minutes drive with his own server etc. from where I live and we worked on it together. Much of what he said I didn't understand and it was the same the other way around. 2 months and several meetings and I must admit I'm pleased with the result. Will my potential customers be? Time will tell.
If I give the link to my website I'll be accused of spamming but like many other I have my home page on my profile.
What I'm trying to say with this thread is that you probably know your customers better than any web designer (who think it's about getting hits) but I want customers, not folk looking in. Previously I got up to 700 hits a day but I'd rather have 10 customers.
Has anyone else had the frustration of dealing with a long distance web designer or did it work out?
I feel I got a bargain and honestly expected it to cost more than it did. Anyone else feel they got their moneys worth?
