Now, just to clarify, we have six members of the Get Pro Copy team – whose skillsets lead to a complete web design and web development package. Gareth Simpson is an accredited “Elementor” web designer and web developer (we are looking too at adding a seventh team member for apps and software development). Stuart Walton is a web designer, social media expert and writer; Gillian McGinn writes; Andy Plues is a successful photographer; Adnan Ahmad is the graphic designer; Andrew Barker designs and manages CRMs.
The company is a collective, a co-operative with 5 of the six running their own businesses. Team work makes the dream work and all that!
Whether your web designer will create content for you depends on the specific services they offer and the agreement you have with them.
Here are a few scenarios:
- Web Design Only: If the web designer’s role is strictly to design the layout, visuals, and user interface of your website, they may not provide content creation services. In this case, you would need to provide the text, images, and other media yourself.
- Web Design and Development: Some web designers also offer development services, which include setting up the site, ensuring it functions properly, and sometimes integrating content management systems (CMS). They might still expect you to supply the content.
- Full-Service Web Design: Full-service web design agencies or designers might offer content creation as part of their package. This could include copywriting, sourcing or creating images, and even video production. Make sure to clarify what types of content they provide and any additional costs involved.
- Content Collaboration: Some web designers might work closely with content creators, either in-house or as external partners. They can coordinate the content creation process, but it may be billed separately.
- Custom Agreements: Every project is unique, and your web designer might offer customised services based on your needs. It’s essential to discuss and clearly outline the scope of work in your contract to avoid misunderstandings.
To determine what your web designer will provide, ask them these specific questions:
- Will you create written content for the website?
- Are you responsible for sourcing or creating images and other media?
- Do you offer content strategy and SEO services?
- Are there additional costs for content creation?
Reviewing their proposal or contract will give you a detailed understanding of the services included.
