Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The organization I work for has decided to re-design or re-develop the existing company Web site.  My part in this project is to come up with new features to add to the site, as well as making the site SEO-friendly (copywriting, link-building, keyword research, etc.). I don’t know a thing about Web site design, coding, format, etc., and I guess I will have to work with a designer on this project.  How would I go about finding a Web site designer? Should they have some SEO knowledge?  How much designer, coding and site structure knowledge should I have?  And how do we not infringe on one another as we work together?  (Sorry so many questions.)
