Choosing a Local Web Designer

Choosing a local web designer can save you from a lot of frustration. Website development can become very complex.

How to Choose Your Web Designer

Many people wonder how they should choose a web design company. The first step is to understand what your website design needs actually are. Are you selling products? Are you just providing information? Do your site visitors need any specific features? Once you know what you need in a website design, then you can move forward in finding the best website design company to do the work.

A great way to start your web designer search is to discuss your needs with any business people you know. Getting a referral for a great website designer can help you to feel more confident in working with the person or company. And if you can’t find anyone to refer you, then your next best step is to begin looking online for local companies with great reviews. Don’t just read the reviews on the companies website. These can be fake. Be sure to check their social media accounts, Google Business page, Yelp and other third party sites. Good reviews are a lot harder to fake on these other platforms and bad reviews are also hard to hide. So the third party websites are a great assett when hunting for a web development company.

10 Things To Check Before Hiring a Website Design Company

1. Do they listen to your questions or suggestions?
2. Do they offer unique ideas that you may not have been aware of?
3. Do you find they market their own company well?
4. Do they build utilizing a Content Management System?
5. Are their websites made with responsive design?
6. Do they have a nice portfolio and references?
7. Have they been in business for more than 5 years?
8. Do they tell you how they plan to achieve your goals?
9. Do they have experience with Search Engine Optimization?
10. Do they have experience in your industry?

Finding the best website designer for the job

When you are discussing your site with the prospective website builder, be sure to ask about the following important concepts in website design. Ask your website builder if they try to improve conversion rate. And if they do, how. Ask them if they have a focus on user experience. This is crucial to keeping visitors to your site, on your site. Does your website design company have good graphic design skills? These two skills go hand-in-hand. Will your web designer make your site easy to navigate for your target audience? If your target audience is older, then they may need larger font sizes while viewing your site on their mobile device. Do they utilize a project management software? If they do, you can be more comfortable with the feeling that they are very organized and will do their best to move you through their systems successfully.

Some other ideas to consider is the online marketing experience. When designing your homepage and website, you’ll want to be sure that your site is optimized for a low bounce rate and a high conversion rate. Is the site ready to receive traffic from any online marketing or digital marketing efforts? Does the site adhere to all current web standards? And what is the overall scope of the project, or the project plan.

Avoid Mistakes

Don’t make a mistake when hiring your local web designer. Ask all these questions. Get referrals. But most of all, you should understand the process of building a successful website, so you can speak the same language when it comes time to vet your web designers.
