I've been working as a freelance designer for a couple of years now. I have a variety of clients, with varying needs from logo design, print design, illustration, photo manipulation and web design.
I can pretty much cover most of it, except the web design. Although I've published a few websites, I am simply not knowledgeable nor confident enough to offer the functionality my new clients are requesting. Neither do I have the time to research or learn new platforms. I need a developer to take care of the web development, I still want to function as the designer, and act as first contact but I would like to work with a developer to be able to offer more solutions.
But I'm not sure how to go about it! I freelance so work can be sporadic. Some months quiet, some months busy. I know a few developers who are too busy to help me, who suggested contacting the local Colleges and Universities, as the students will be studying most of the time, they will not be dependent on steady income (yet!). But this still leaves me with the issue of what questions to ask.
So I need some advice on what I need from a developer, which I suppose could be considered a rather vague question, but I got to start somewhere.
