Ok lets start with the graphics, if you could call yourself a webdesigner then you should be able to have a big portfolio with many different images and then images should look professional. It isn't enough with just drawing a square in Adobe even if its a good start. Another thing you should know about graphic is that you should be able to do graphics that isn't to big in size and takes to long to load.

So what about the html coding? Well if you could call yourself a webdesigner then you should have coding a rather long time and you should really know what the code means and not just type it in. I wouldn't say that a good html coder should have taken a class in html coding or something like that, I think its enough to learn by yourself without any other special help. Read a html book is ok. Often they don't learn you how to do but the learn you what the code means and thats good.

So basic it is enough with Notepad and Adobe but you should really know what you are doing, and what all stuff means.

But how do you know if the "webdesigner" is the guy you really need? Well that very simple to see. Just look at the "webdesigner"īs own page and see for yourself. Also see if he has a portfolio that shows things he has made and if the thing looks ok. If you still not sure than ask for an example that he would do your website and what price it has. And if the "webdesigner" can do all this you shouldn't be worried about hiring him.
