The web design market is noisy. Thousands of candidates can build a website off a template, but only a small fraction can design for accessibility, performance, and business outcomes. Most hiring teams don’t have the time to separate polished portfolios from real web design capabilities. Hunter speeds up web design recruitment by connecting employers to experienced talent in under 35 days.

Hiring a web designer often gets bottlenecked because quality is hard to judge without technical expertise.

Many portfolios include templates, team projects, or assets produced with heavy AI assistance. Ask candidates to walk through the file structure, explain their role in each project, and describe the decisions behind layout, UX flow, and accessibility. Designers who truly owned the work can explain the “why,” not just the “what,” as well as the challenges they faced in building the website and how they solved them. You should also ask about decisions surrounding the website build, such as hosting, migration, and maintenance.
Corporate environments require consistency, documentation, accessibility compliance, and collaboration with product, marketing, and development teams. Freelancers often work independently and may not be used to structured workflows, version control, or stakeholder review cycles. A strong corporate designer can explain how they handle feedback, maintain design systems, and support long-term site governance rather than one-off builds.
Ask candidates to describe how they approach user flow, navigation, and content hierarchy. Strong designers talk about conversion journeys, readability, accessibility, and how users move through a page. If the conversation stays focused on colors, fonts, and aesthetics, the candidate may lack UX depth. Reviewing wireframes or low‑fidelity sketches also reveals how they think before they design.
Accessibility and responsive design require technical understanding, not just visual skill. Many designers rely on templates or drag‑and‑drop tools that hide the underlying structure. When asked to design for screen readers, keyboard navigation, or complex breakpoints, gaps become obvious. Hiring managers should look for candidates who can explain WCAG basics, responsive logic, and how they test designs across devices.
Template‑driven designers often struggle when asked to create original layouts, adapt to brand systems, or collaborate with developers. To screen for this, ask candidates to show work that started from a blank canvas, not a prebuilt theme. Request wireframes, sketches, or early iterations. Designers with real skill can demonstrate how they build structure, not just decorate it.
