What to look for in a Web Design freelancer
A strong web designer should balance aesthetics with usability and conversion, not just make pretty screens. Look for:
- A portfolio of live sites, not just concepts, so you can see the work in the wild.
- Fluency in Figma, with clean, organized files and thoughtful, reusable components.
- An eye for layout and type, using spacing, hierarchy, and color to guide the eye.
- UX thinking, designing around user flows, mobile screens, and clear calls to action.
- Awareness of the build, so designs are realistic to develop and load fast in the browser.
Ask to see a live site the designer made and how it performs on your phone. Real, shipped work on a small screen reveals far more than a desktop mockup ever will.
