Launching a website for your business may be an overwhelming and time-consuming task. With so many web design companies out there , it may be difficult for you to decide which is right for you. How you are supposed to make a decision while there is a lot of “chaff with wheat.”
Remember, don’t take this decision lightly:
Your Web design is the face of your business. It is going to be your online identity for several years to come. It is not only the first point of contact with potential customers, but most of them will make a “snap decision” about your credibility mainly based on it.
Having the wrong choice of web design, you will not only lose your investment, but it may also become a reason to turn many customers away.
What should you look for while hiring a web design company?
Here are few important points to consider:
Ability to put your ideas into Actions:
No one knows your business better than you do. You should first discuss your ideas of presenting your products to your potential online customers. Your designer should be able to put these ideas into action. If your design company would not listen to you, then you may be dealing with the wrong people. A company that is not ready to focus what their customers want will not be able to design your website according to needs and requirements.
They Share their ideas with you:
It may not be possible for designers to say yes to all your ideas, as you may know, your business but not the design elements. A good designer should always discuss his ideas based on your input. If your design company is not ready to put effort in further polishing your idea to turn it into better website design, then avoid hiring them.
Ability to Develop conversion oriented designs:
A designer should know a lot more than just making the website look nice. They should be aware of the core purpose of attracting visitors and turn them into customers through better engagement.
Many designers may focus more on visual appeal that may leave website less functional, with low ability to turn engagements into customers. A good web designer should go beyond visual appeal of your website and design elements with tangible benefits in mind.
They have their Portfolios:
You should look for their portfolios of live websites to evaluate their true capability to design website. A good web design company is always open and transparent about previous projects, displaying their success proudly. You should particularly look for full functional websites that are still using their logos.
Longevity:
Although you may find hundreds even thousands of local web design companies by browsing on internet. You may notice a lot of these companies seem to come and go in the blink of an eye. There are plenty of good reasons for that; technology is evolving rapidly; design trends are changing to meet user needs and demands while keeping up with the pace of these changes can be hard for many companies. Web design companies are particularly at greater risk from volatile global trends. Most companies that have been around for more than five years shown that they can survive in difficult conditions and can keep up with the pace of drastic changes. That`s the quality you should look for in Web design company. If a company is around from last many years, it`s likely they will continue to be around in future and will be able to provide you support for future up gradation and design changes.
They have Right Mix of Skills and Experience:
Most of the web design companies claim to be offering “all in one” solutions to their clients that are easier said than done. A good web design company will have good team with a right mix of employees and expertise to help each other with different elements like design, development, marketing and more. However such companies are rare to find. Once found such team may save lot of time for you by fully focusing on each and every aspect of web design.
They are Handling Work In-House:
Make Sure you are dealing with true web Design Company rather than glorified middleman. Since outsourcing has become a popular way of getting work done, many companies are opting to outsource most (if not all) of the client projects to contractors around the world. It may be a good cost-saving strategy for the company but not be an ideal solution for you. With outsourcing, you don’t know who your designer is, you may not have seen their portfolios, will not be able to ever meet or even talk to them. Your work may be outsourced to a designer who has no knowledge and experience of design trends in your local market. Therefore it is highly unlikely that such company will be able to produce good design according to your needs and requirements.
Avoid Dirt Cheap Web Design Companies:
Your website is your identity online. If you try to avoid allocate appropriate budget on it, it will ultimately affect your potential making profits. There are lots of web design companies offering their service at very low price. However, this low price does not come without a compromise on the quality of design. They may simply drop and drag your text and logo on a cheap WordPress theme that is used by hundreds of others. If you really want your website to work for you, then you must be willing to invest on it. One thing is for sure a great website will definitely yield a high return on investment. While a bad one will result in stagnant business .
