How do I give a 3rd party web designer access to my yahoo-hosted page?
I have a web designer building my web-site. I don’t want to give him my yahoo password. However, yahoo requires a yahoo account to build the site.
I’m sure not all Yahoo site owners do their own webpages.
you should give it your password then after the work finished change it
and don’t worry most designer/developer are trusted and will not still any

How to Mockup a Web Page
http://twitter.com/chrispirillo – Not long ago, I was talking to my friend Brent, who happens to be an amazing designer. I helped sponsor his PodCamp Arizona recently, and he wanted to do a favor for me in return. Knowing the quality of his work, I was all over this offer! I needed a single web page where people can go to read more about me, and go through a simple PayPal form to pay me to coach them. It would be like an on-demand consulting type of thing, for whatever type of help I can provide. However, I had trouble explaining to Brent what it was I wanted the page to look like. Thankfully, I was able to use mockingbird mockups to illustrate for me! http://chris.pirillo.com – http://geeks.pirillo.com

Choosing a Good Web Designer
Choosing a web designer for your company, team, or firm can sometimes be a challenge. There are many companies, design houses, and freelancers on the internet offering website design services. Choosing a quality web designer from among those choices can be a difficult proposition if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Here are some questions you can ask yourself when shopping for a web designer.
Does the Designer Have a Website?
This may seem like a silly question, but oddly enough some web designers do not have a website. This is usually a good indicator that you should steer clear of them and choose someone else. You should never judge a book by its cover, but in this case you should at least give some thought as to why they don’t have their own website.
Does the Designer Have a Good Portfolio?
You should always look at other websites that a potential designer has created. Most web designers will have a selection of sample websites for you look over and judge their work. If a designer is just starting out in the business, their portfolio will contain limited samples, but don’t discount their abilities. Quantity is not necessarily an indication of quality. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, have them produce a mockup. A designer will usually do this for free or a minimal charge.
Does the Designer Have a Bad Reputation?
Some bad web designers will develop a naturally bad reputation for themselves. Ask your friends, family, or colleagues about the reputation that a particular designer may or may not have. If they have a reputation for not delivering projects on time or if they are difficult to communicate with, you may want to keep shopping.
Does the Designer Create Websites that are Easy on the Eyes?
Website design can be described as an art form. Just like art, it comes in many shades of color with varying degrees of texture. But everyone has different “tastes” when it comes to art. A website should have a unique look and feel while projecting a vibrant (but not overly powerful) image for your business or organization. Adding constantly flashing graphics or using bad color combinations can be a disaster for your website. A good website designer can spot problems before they happen and isn’t afraid to make suggestions to help you during the development process.
Does the Designer Make Websites that are Search Engine Friendly?
A good website designer will product your website so that it is search engine friendly. If your designer refuses to use META tags or insists on creating websites entirely constructed using Flash animation, you would be better off finding another designer. Search engines are the primary way people on the internet will find your website. If its not listed on the search engines, then you’ve already lost the battle before the war has even started.

Looking for a designer for a special web page?
I’m looking for someone who can build a page that allows customers to design their own posters by being able to change colors, upload pictures that display as they are designing, and change text and color of text in designated spots. After they design it, they can submit it and it will be stored and available for me to print. I have a site but need this page to add to the site. Cost to build this is a factor so how much would this cost and who could build it.
Please look whith this people:

Hiring A Web Designer: The Questions To Ask So You Aren’t Ripped Off!
So, you’re going to hire a designer or design company to build a website for you.
You’ve made the right choice (but since I’m a designer I would say that wouldn’t I) – however like most trades, there are a lot of so-called “professionals” out there who are far from it.
Some simply don’t have the technical knowledge to back up their design skills, most don’t have any type of marketing expertise – they’ll build you a website that looks fantastic, but won’t bring in a red cent because it takes 10 minutes to load that bandwidth-sucking Flash animation they did for you.
By that time your visitor (who’s on dialup) has decided they’re not going to wait and have left your site.
There are some “web designers” who’ll take your money and not complete the project because they don’t have the expertise or the time/inclination – or worse, just blatantly rip you off and not do the work at all, quickly changing their phone number so you can’t get in contact with them.
And worst of all … some designers work is just plain crap.
Sorry for being blunt … but it’s true!
So, how can you protect yourself when hiring a web designer or company?
When it comes to web design, qualifications aren’t worth diddly squat!
There are no recognized industry-standard qualifications in web design. If someone wanted to go into the computer support/networking field they know they need to aim for becoming a Microsoft Certified System Engineer (MCSE) or a Cisco Certified Network Administrator (CCNA).
These are qualifications created by software and hardware companies to make sure people using their products know what they’re doing. And to make more money for the company, of course!
The problem is, there are no overriding organizations when it comes to web design. The nearest you could get would be qualifications from Microsoft on using FrontPage (their web design software) or Adobe on using Dreamweaver (their web design software) as these are two of the biggest “players” in the market.
However, having a qualification that says you know how to operate a piece of software doesn’t mean you can design a website. For instance, I’m a successful web designer and have been for 4 years, but I don’t have a single web design qualification.
Another thing to note is what does the designer’s website look like? Does it look like they’ve spent some time designing it or does it look like a standard template from their software?
Also does it look like they have the skills to create your website? Obviously, this may be difficult to determine if you have no technical background in HTML, etc. but what is your “gut reaction” about them?
Can they explain in simple language exactly what they will do for your project? If they start bamboozling you with techno-jargon and geek-speak and are unable to talk to you in a way that you can understand, walk away.
What is the standard of their work portfolio? Do you like any of the website designs listed there? If they don’t have a portfolio, are unable to show you any of their work for aren’t able to refer you to previous clients, walk away! Don’t risk your project on an unproven designer. Let someone else take that risk.
Are the websites they’ve built easy to use? There’s no point in building a website with a beautiful looking navigation system if it’s difficult to use – visitors will simply go somewhere else. Ask them questions like “Will my website be 100% compatible with all the major browsers?” (They should answer “Yes!”)
Setting Your Budget
Before you start looking for web designers, you need to know how much you’re going to budget for the project – and stick to it. By all means allow another 25% as a contingency against potential problems (but don’t tell the web designer you have this, or they may try to get you to spend it.)
Make sure you tell the web designers you’ve short listed; you want a quote for the job as a whole – not an hourly rate. Don’t ever take on a web designer (or programmer for that matter) for a major project and pay by the hour – you’ll end up broke.
Make sure you draft a “Work For Hire” agreement which details everything the web designer will do for you, any deadlines you’ve agreed upon and the price you’re going to pay.
If you don’t have a “Work For Hire” agreement on file you can use, contact your legal advisor or you could purchase a “legal letters” software package.
You’ll soon notice there are web designers charging ridiculously low figures and designers charging the equivalent of a small nation’s GDP. You could post a bid on a freelance site and get quotes for $100 from designers in India or Eastern Europe or contact a high-flying web design company in your own country and get quoted $50,000.
Personally, I’d avoid companies or designers at both ends of the spectrum – you’ll probably be fairly safe price-wise somewhere in-between. At the end of the day, (like most things) you pay for what you get. So if you want a professional, experienced web designer who also has marketing knowledge, you’ll have to pay – but you’ll soon find out, it will save you money in the long run.
Package Offers
Lastly, under no circumstances buy a package deal with a web designer or company that contains the domain name, web hosting and other accounts. Should you fall out with them for any reason, they will have complete control over your website and can do anything with it.
Also since they’re doing everything as a package they’ll want to minimize their expenses and so will usually purchase the very basic, cheapest options to make sure they keep hold of the most money they can. And it will almost certainly come back to bite you on the … erm … hand.
Purchase your own domain names, web hosting, credit card processing and autoresponder accounts, so they’re all in your name. Once the project has been completed and the web designer isn’t on a monthly retainer, change all the passwords so they no longer have access.
Follow these guidelines and you’ll get your website, when you want it at the price you want to pay.

I need a web page designer cheap. Take a look at what I want.?
I want someone to program me, or show me how to, a website that is kind of like an ebay setting. Lets say that your selling stock in a car. I want someone to be able to log on, list there car (For a fee), and then have other people log on and buy shares of there car. So say a car is for sale for 5000$, Someone can by 10% of it for 500$, another person can by 5% for 250$ and so on. I need it to be instant, so when someone enters a bid, it automatically goes on the site. Any help would be great, the site is not about a car, but that is the premiss.
No offense, but you are asking a whole lot here.
First off, you need a web developer, not only a web designer.
Secondly, that is way more than your average personal homepage (for which you /might/ find someone who does it for cheap). For this scope, you really need several people — maybe a DBA, a application architect, a web designer and several web developers (which really need to know their stuff because you are handling money – therefore the site needs to be extremely secure…)
Don’t take me wrong, I really like your idea, but unless you have the right people, this idea will never get off the ground.
Sorry…
Web page designer?
I don’t wanna write code. I’m looking for a program like Ms Word in which I can design web pages without having to know about HTML Code or anything. Well I would like a more powerfull program than Ms Word. Is there any good ones?
Thank you.
Microsoft Frontpage would probably be the go for you.
You can also use Word as a web editor, but not recommended excpet to convert Word documents into web pages.
how much does it cost a web page designer?
to design a website
Depends on what the web site involves. That’s like asking "How much does a car cost", or "how much does a dress cost" – prices of anything you buy depend on what you specify. Could be anything from a couple of £100 to £100ks
Information about a Web Page Designer?
I’m going to start college soon and was never sure what to do. But one of my hobbies and my loves, also what I’m good at is codes, doing pages. As in web pages or myspace or anything. I mean I can’t customize it from scratch which I want to learn. So I was thinking about going to college for web page design.
But the down side is I hear they don’t get paid anything.
Plus, with the economy who would have money to pay someone to do their web page.
& how would you get business?
I hear it’s pretty hard as well and it messes with your eyes.
Let me know what you know about it.
Thanks.
I took a class in high school, and if your planning on using the "type it all in code" idea forget it. I don’t mean that it’s bad, it’s fine when your just editing little details quickly, but your better off getting a "What you see is what you get" program (like Dreamweaver). It’s much less taxing on the eyes and easier to catch mistakes early on.
If you really want to learn how to do this stuff there are tutorials online for you.
Doing this as a hobby: Sure
Doing this as a career: I would advise against it.
