Hire Web Designers for Websites That Convert

Designers who plan page structure, write layouts around your message and deliver responsive designs ready for WordPress, Webflow-style builders or custom code.

Web designers who start with the visitor's question

A business website has a narrow job: explain what you do, prove you can be trusted and get the visitor to take the next step. Our web designers plan page hierarchy and calls to action first, then design responsive layouts in Figma that look right on phones, tablets and wide screens. They work with your copy, or flag where copy needs to change.

Marketing teams, agencies and growing businesses hire web designers from Nexzem for site redesigns, landing pages for campaigns, and ongoing design support after launch. Designers can also build directly in WordPress or hand off to our developers. Each designer starts on a short trial, and you own all files and assets.

How to vet a web designer

Web designers turn brand and content into pages that look good and convert. Review live sites they designed, not only mockups, and check them on a phone. Do pages load quickly, read easily and guide visitors toward a clear action? Strong designers can explain the goal of each page and how layout, imagery and copy support it.

Technical awareness matters even for designers who do not code. Look for understanding of responsive web design, image and font performance, content management systems and web accessibility basics such as contrast, headings and focus states. Designers who ignore these create beautiful pages that frustrate developers and fail real visitors.

Ask how they work with content. The best designers request real copy early, design with realistic text lengths and plan for how pages will grow when marketing teams add new content after launch. Ask to see how a past site evolved after launch.

  • Live sites that work well on mobile devices.
  • Clear reasoning about goals and calls to action.
  • Awareness of performance, SEO and accessibility basics.
  • Experience designing for a CMS and reusable sections.
  • Designs with real content, not placeholder text.
  • Understanding of how forms, tracking and analytics affect page design.

Interview questions we use for web designers

We ask web designers to critique an existing website and explain how they would improve it for a specific goal, such as more demo requests. This shows how they balance brand, clarity and conversion, and how they would justify changes to a marketing team.

Strong answers prioritize clarity over decoration, consider mobile visitors first and mention how they would measure success after launch. We also look for designers who plan reusable page sections so marketing teams can build new pages without starting from scratch.

  • What would you change on this homepage to increase enquiries, and why?
  • How do you design a page so it works on small phone screens first?
  • How do you choose fonts and images without slowing the site down?
  • How would you design flexible sections for editors in a CMS?
  • How do you check color contrast and readable typography?
  • How do you work with developers to keep the built site faithful to the design?
  • How do you decide which content belongs above the fold on mobile?

Onboarding a web designer in the first two weeks

In week one, the designer reviews brand guidelines, the current website, analytics and the goals of the redesign or new pages. They audit key pages for clarity, mobile usability and performance issues, and agree with stakeholders which pages matter most and what success looks like.

In week two, they design one priority page or section set, review it with stakeholders and hand it to developers with responsive specifications. For complete builds, our website development services pair designers with developers, so designs move from Figma to a live site without losing quality.

Where Web Designers make a difference

  • Corporate website redesign

    A company with an outdated website adds a web designer who audits content and analytics, restructures navigation, designs a modern responsive layout and creates reusable sections so marketing can maintain the site after launch.

  • Landing pages for campaigns

    A marketing team running regular campaigns gets a web designer who produces focused landing pages with clear messaging, forms and tracking, using a flexible template system so new campaigns launch quickly and look consistent.

  • Brand refresh across web pages

    After a rebrand, a designer updates typography, colors, imagery and components across the website, ensuring accessibility and performance stay intact while the new identity appears consistently on every page and template.

  • Designs for a WordPress site

    A business moving to a custom WordPress theme works with a web designer who designs block-based sections that editors can combine freely, keeping pages on-brand without needing developer help for every update.

Hiring Web Designers: FAQs

Something else on your mind? Ask a consultant and get a reply within one business day.

How much does it cost to hire a web designer?

You pay monthly per designer after a short trial period. Experience, scope such as design only or design plus WordPress build, and hours per month decide the rate. A fixed monthly quote follows a free consultation.

Can your web designer also build the website?

Yes. Some designers build directly in WordPress or Shopify, and for custom builds they hand off to our developers with ready specs.

Will the design work on mobile?

Yes. Every page is designed for mobile first and checked at tablet and desktop sizes before handoff.

Do you write the website copy?

Designers work with your copy and suggest structure and headings. If you need full copywriting, mention it and we can include a content writer.

Who owns the designs?

You own all design files, assets and the finished website. We sign an NDA on request.

Can a web designer improve our conversion rate?

Often, yes. Clearer messaging, stronger calls to action, simpler forms, better mobile layouts and faster pages commonly increase enquiries. Our designers review analytics and user behavior, propose changes and can work with your team to test them before rolling them out widely.

Will the designer work with our existing brand guidelines?

Yes. Designers follow your existing brand guidelines for logos, colors, typography and tone, and extend them where the web needs more detail, such as button styles, form states and responsive layouts, documenting any additions for future use.

We work with clients across the USA, UK, Australia, UAE, New Zealand and India.
