I am looking for someone to design a flash website for me but I don't know the first thing about flash except it is the kind of design/look I want for the site. What kind of questions should I be asking the web designer? Would you suggest using flash or some other software? The site will be about 10 pages how much do you think it should cost me? Will I be able to take control of the site after the product is do? Please help, I am trying to make a decision here but I feel I need to dig a little deeper to make sure I am getting the right thing. Thanks
1. How long it will take to create the site. How many mock-up designs they are willing to create for you (just incase you don't like the first site design they present you) and how much those mock-ups cost.. 2. I don't think you really need to know this for your site design, they should know which one to use for your project 3. For flash? Not sure, this depends on how long it will take to complete (and if you need animations, forms, etc) 4. What do you mean by take control? You will get the website files, the "control" of the webhost & domain BUT if you're asking if you can edit the content after and so on, not unless you know a bit of flash and have the program (if you can, request to files from your programmer). I also suggest you ask for those files even if you can't edit it, just incase you want to hire some else to edit your site for you
8everything, Thank you so much, for your response, you answers hit the nail on the head. I started to create a mock up in frontpage and I am currently working on creating a flash movie with still pictures, I have never done it before so far I have not throw my computer clear across the room. The site is so simple that I feel that if I don't understand the process I will be paying for something I can get done in my free time. Thanks
