Of course. I chose the word designer because i don’t think your average business knows the difference. The idea was to get the questions across. Good point though.

It seems most the questions … I cant ser what I’m erinring now bevakar the “feedback” Burton is cicerons the rop of My screen. On My phone. What I wanted to say was just, great questions, but half of them Should be asked the developer, not the designer. Unless you jute someone that does both design and development.

This is such an important point, I agree. I always insist the customer takes care of their own hosting and do as much as possible to ensure they understand how to empower themselves. So many companies I talk to don’t realise they don’t control their own website.

Thanks for sharing some great tips Alan!

Another important thing that too many people get caught out by… is “What is involved in moving away from this Web Designer”.

For example, do they own your website domain on your behalf, can you obtain the raw HTML files or a “data dump” of your site data easily and frequently? Who has the copyright on the site designs? What about hosting, do you run the hosting account or do they host it for you?

So often people decide to move on, only to find out that their current supplier has a range of charges that mean they can grab a last chunk of cash before you go, either for data exports, domain migrations, hosting migrations etc.

For the record, I always provide an XML feed of all site data, insist that customers buy their own domains, even if I do all the DNS config etc, and prefer to have customers purchase their hosting direct, again sometimes with my technical assistance.

They can come back to me for site improvements and changes, because that’s what I want to do for them. I don’t want a single customer to feel they “have” to stay with me, which means that 100% of my repeat business is customers who genuinely appreciate my efforts.
