If you are talking about a large serious website, get a home phone number (not a mobile) and an address. Run, don't walk from anyone that insists everything be done over email. If you search online you'll see lots of stories of people who hired a web designer that suddenly disappeared.
Ask him where he gets his web design ideas from. Also ask how he protects against SQL injection.
An experienced web designer will be able to give you a timetable for completion based on your detailed requirements.
