efficiency and designing capabilities. A list of his clients should be asked
for, and their reviews can be considered.

updated with the current trends and innovations and make changes accordingly.

important as developing the website. The website has to be protected from
various potential threats like attacks from a virus, phishing, hackers, source
code stealing etc. A knowledgeable and experienced developer can reduce these
risks to a great extent.

communication skills will make a lot of difference. As an owner, with easy
communication, you will be able to communicate your expectations to him. A
clear understanding regarding the theme of the website, its colour, the time frame
for completion, interactivity, plugins and modules required, text and visuals,
the procedure he is going to follow, budget etc. should be established.
