One way to get a feel for a design company is to\u00a0think how you would feel if\u00a0there was a website emergency. \u00a0Would you think, &#8220;UGH I have to call that website guy.&#8221; or would you think, &#8220;Oh I&#8217;ll call Sue, she&#8217;ll take care of this and I can get back to work?&#8221; I had a situation in February with one of my higher end restaurants. They are in downtown Wilmington, NC. The week of Valentines Day the cable system was down due to a storm. \u00a0The restaurant was unable to receive phone calls or online reservations. \u00a0The owner gave me a\u00a0call to see what I suggested. \u00a0We came up with the idea to save the day. \u00a0We used the manager&#8217;s cell phone number as the &#8216;press to call&#8217; number on the mobile site and I changed the phone number on the website to her cell number as well. 10 minutes late I got a text from the owner telling me calls were pouring in. \u00a0They ended up having a bigger night than they anticipated but most importantly <em><strong>their customers <\/strong><\/em>weren&#8217;t inconvenienced. The point here isn&#8217;t that I saved Valentines day at a Wilmington restaurant, although that is cool, it&#8217;s that they were comfortable enough to trust me to work with them to solve a problem. They made a phone call and checked it off their list. Make sure you too partner with your website designer. \u00a0If you don&#8217;t, find a new one.<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Sue Rachunok owns <a href=\"http:\/\/www.d-interventions.com\">Design Interventions<\/a>, <\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: small;\">A\u00a0full service website design firm that prides itself in keeping it\u2019s customers\u2019 customers happy online.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you hire a website design firm to build your site you are committing to partner with them for a long time. \u00a0It&#8217;s your job to do your homework.
