Should You Hire Someone Else to Build Your Community Site?

Working with a professional designer can be beneficial for communities that have the resources. Contracting with a professional designer will make it more likely that your site will be able to integrate features like online billpay, mapping, forms and other interactive features.

Selecting the right professional to contract with will take some time and research. Do reference checks to ensure that the developer you are considering has a history of handling updates and responding to problems in a timely manner. Also, be clear that you want all files to be the property of the community.
