Few Points to Consider Before Hiring a Web Designer

Communication, as we understand, is the sharing of message symbols between two people or more. If I remember those days in school so well, it was said that communication is only effective when there is a common message symbol, a medium to convey the message, and an avenue for feedback. Imagine you trying to give a hand signal in the dark to the supposed receiver, or talking to someone who had lost his hearing balance, the sender sure sent a message but was not received by the receiver in both cases.
