When looking to start or expand your business, one of the most important aspects to consider is your digital presence. An easy to navigate website that ranks well on search engines is a quick way to launch/grow your business. That is why we have put together this quick guide on how to choose a web designer.
What To Look For in a Web Designer
When scrolling through the endless lists of web development companies, there are a few key factors that set the best apart.
- Easy to communicate with
- Have a good website for their own company
- Have a portfolio
- Use responsive web design
If they are not willing to talk on the phone with you or show their past works, they are not the company for you. Also, they should be constantly improving by staying up to date with the latest trends such as responsive web design which allows a site to be easily viewed on any device.
What to Ask Your Web Designer
Once you have sifted through your web design companies, you should ask them a few important questions before hiring them.
- What is your website development process?
- Will you do updates for my website, if not how do I?
- How much do you value user experience?
- What does this initial payment encompass? AKA what are your extra fees?
An established web design company will be able to quickly and easily tell you all the steps involved in their website development process. If they can’t then they probably do not have enough experience to code you a reliable website.
How much they value user experience is very important as well. User experience is what makes your site profitable. If the designer doesn’t care how easily your viewers are capable of navigating your website, then they don’t care about the success of your business.
What Your Web Designer Needs from You
When you finally decide on your web designer, they will need some basic information from you to build your site such as:
- Business name
- Content (blogs, words about what you do, etc.)
- Design tastes
- Hours of operation
- List of services
The more information you are able to give them, the easier their job will be. Also, the more likely your website is going to come out looking its absolute best.
