On the Internet today, many people call themselves web designers and web design companies. Some people do it for fun, as a hobby or part-time. Web designers that design full-time are the way to go. Someone who does web design in their part-time tends not to take it as seriously as someone who does it for a living. Some people do web design, who have no formal training. Make sure your web designer has some formal training from a recognized school. Self-taught people, although I applaud them for doing it, have relied on the Internet for all their information, and as you know information on the Internet can be inaccurate.
