How To Choose A Web Design Company

Lets be honest, there’s a million and one web design companies out there. How on earth are you meant to pick? Here are a few simple tips.

Make sure their website lists all the particular skills your interested in.

A professional web design company should list a range of skills on their website, marketing, design, development. Picking a company that doesn’t list a particular skill on their website means that if they SAY they can do it, all they are doing is looking it up on Google and don’t have any experience in the field.

Make sure their contactable when they say they are.

Picking up the phone to just check they are open when they say they are is a really good idea. Nothings worse than having major website issues and trying to contact your developer to fix it during their opening hours and no one responds. It could cost your business thousands and just isn’t worth it.

Get a quote listing every aspect you expect in your web design.

Imagine you’re expecting to receive a custom logo design added into your website, but your developer doesn’t remember you asking for that, maybe you asked for it in passing on the phone? When it comes to final design and it isn’t there you’ll go back and say you did ask for that but wont have a conversation log as it was verbal. Without a signed off quote you wont get it without paying extra.

Cost.

Although an overall budget is a good idea, cost shouldn’t be a major factor. With web design you get what you pay for. If you want a basic site with a couple of pages think then yes cost should be a factor, but if you’re expecting a fully functional cost e-commerce store for under £1000, you wont get the tools your business needs to sell online successfully and will end up doing your brand name damage.
