Once you\u2019ve placed your ad, you\u2019ll start to receive responses. Review the resumes and work samples and make a pile of your top ten. Be sure to check that the estimates are within your budget range; building a simple, three-page website should take no more than 10 hours ($100 to $200 total) for most designers.<\/p>\n

Schedule a 15-minute interview to talk with the top five candidates. Talk about his or her work experience, get a feel for who they are, and establish a personal connection. Your job in the interview is to be honest about what you need, find out if the person is qualified, and sense if you trust this person.<\/p>\n

One of the questions I like to ask during an interview is, \u201cWhat will your references say when I talk to them and ask what is your biggest strength? And what will they say is your biggest weakness?\u201d Ask them if they are willing to undertake a short, unpaid test so you can see how they work. If they are unwilling, you might negotiate a small fee.<\/p>\n

Invite the top five to take a test that would take no more than an hour (you can do it unpaid or for a small fee). I have includ- ed a sample test below that you can tweak. Many won\u2019t want to do it for free, which is understandable, but you may find a gem in the few that do, and you\u2019ll be all set.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
