How to Choose the Best Website Design Company

These days there a lot of website design companies around - some highly professional and others not so. As it is a fairly new industry with low start up costs and no qualifications "needed" to get into, many people think it is a great industry to jump into so that they can make some easy cash. These people have a very negative impact on both consumers (who get a low quality service) and on the professionals already established in the industry. A good website design company will have highly qualified designers and developers that will help you every step of the way. So how do you go about finding the best website design company for you? Let me show you a few good methods!

 

Look at the website designer's portfolio. Every website design company worth its weight will have an in depth portfolio page of at least 20 jobs. If you like the kind of work they have produced, then there is a good chance that they will do a good job for you. Have a look for individuality in their designs - you do not want a website that will look the same as every other site out there. See if they have the ability to make your site unique for your requirements and circumstances. Finally, make sure these design are for real companies and not just fake designs stolen from elsewhere and put into a portfolio. Go to that clients website and take a look around. If you can't get to the website, then search for that company in Google. If you can't get to them in Google, then it is probably fake. When you do find the company, consider emailing them to ask about their experience with the company.

Go to a few website design company review sites. There are plenty of review sites where potential customers like yourself can go and read all the feedback on web design companies that are either in your budget or near your location. Using this information in the right way can help you pick the best website design company for you. Look at the reviews and take into account the amount of positive reviews a company has and judge that against the negative feedback left. If a company has a lot of positive feedback and little to no negative, you are most likely looking at a decent company.

You will also want to look at companies who have a fairly large number of reviews from a diverse client base (clients working in different sectors, and especially clients working in similar sectors to yourself). There are negatives with review sites though, that you should be aware of. Do not always trust the reviews - some companies put reviews on from either fake companies, or write their clients testimonials for them. If you see anything suspicious then beware. Also, if a company has fantastic reviews, that does not make them the company for you, that just makes them a good company. For example if they do websites for a very cheap cost and have great customer feedback, the feedback will be relative to the price the person paid, not necessarily the quality of the website.
