Now ask yourself, if all companies promise such great services, why are there annoying low-quality websites? Who made those designs? The same companies that appear in the search results. So how do the bad apples filter through to the right companies? The crucial thing to know before hiring a company is whether they will deliver what they promised.
Here are some factors to consider before hiring any company:
1.Portfolio
All companies display their best websites in the portfolio section. It can help you judge your team’s creativity quotient. This area shows the actual work of the client and accurately reflects the design experience of a company. Make sure the overall style of the web designer in your portfolio matches your requirements. Review the websites displayed in your portfolio to make sure they are easy to use, free of errors, and load fast.
2.Experience
The agency under consideration should have considerable experience in WordPress, eCommerce, WooCommerce, Magento, and other similar technologies. Check if the designer, who will actually work on your site, is well versed in all web technologies. If the project requires flash for an animated clip, the designer must be able to perform that task.
3. Chronology
Every project has a deadline or time range within which they must be completed. Most companies show that they are committed to delivering their projects on time. The completion time does not depend on the simplicity of the project. Each site, whether simple or complex, needs at least 2-3 weeks to go through all the processes from the analysis stage to the testing phase. If someone claims they can deliver the project to you in 2-3 days, be wary. Hire someone who demands adequate time relative to the project requirements.
4. Customer Service
The competition doesn’t matter if they can’t respond to calls or emails in a timely manner. If they ignore your customers during business hours, chances are they won’t meet the deadline and probably can’t provide better after-sales services. You prefer a company that provides 24/7 customer service.
5. Communication skills
Communication plays a vital role along with website design and programming. Just stay away from anyone who can’t communicate well and reply late. You can gauge your communication efficiency through initial calls, emails, or proposals.
6. Standard service
All the companies promise that they will provide clients with proper marketing strategy along with design/development solutions. The general service means that they will offer other digital solutions such as SEO, e-commerce, mobile compatibility and social media marketing to help your business succeed online. You need to find an agency that consists of a team of experts for each promised service.
These are the few qualities that a good web design company should possess. Avoid companies that offer the lowest rates but are unclear on the progress of project development. Instead, select one that meets your budget and technical requirements.
