How to find Web Designers with Boolean search strings
When searching for Web Designer resumes and profiles on Google, use Boolean logic to target your searches. Our Boolean search examples provide a basis to build your own strings. Modify them with your criteria to hire a Web Designer who can build functional and user-friendly websites.
Generic search string to find a Web Designer
Build a generic search string around terms like:
- -job -jobs -sample -examples, to exclude irrelevant results
- (intitle:resume OR intitle:cv) to discover candidates’ online resumes or CVs
Here’s an example of a simple Boolean search string for web designer resumes:
(intitle:resume OR intitle:cv) “web designer” -job -jobs -sample -templates
With this search string, the words “resume” or “CV” have to appear in the page title. If you want to find different types of designers, add variations of job titles. And, excluding more terms will reduce false positives.
Looking for Web Designer profiles and portfolios
Search for designers on specific social networks using Boolean search in Google by including the site: operator and terms found exclusively on member profiles. For example:
- site:dribbble.com “web designer” “shots” -jobs
- site:behance.net “web designer” “project views” miami
- site:meetup.com “web designer” “member since”
Add more criteria in your Boolean strings for web designers to find profiles that better match your requirements.
