Steps to choose a web design company for your business
Have you ever felt difficult to choose a web design company for your business? or you have to keep developing, designing your website again and again?
Below are few key points you should be focusing while choosing the right web design company to fulfill your design needs:
I will assume that you already have got some proposals from different companies. if you are searching about
Customized proposals:
Most of the companies are trying to send tons of proposals in order to get more business. You can filter true efforts towards your business by taking a quick look at the proposal sent to you. Filter those which explains more on what features are necessary for your business and a flow of sitemap according to your persona. Proposals with “what we can do”, “what technologies we work in…” you can separate them in first place.
Existing work:
Look at their existing work, if their existing work is related to what you are looking for to have a web design. They might be good for you, but you have to see their usability approach too. That shows how they help other businesses to have a perfect user flow according to website goals.
pricing and timelines:
Check their proposal closely, is it clear the deadlines, deliverable and the final product (web design) look and feel. Will they be able to meet your deadlines?
Work force:
Which of their team members will be working on your project and what are their qualifications? Are you going to get in touch with any person who is working directly on your project or you are speaking to only management staff. Most of the clients always prefer to speak also with web designers who are going to design their website.
How many rounds of changes i can make?
Mostly designs are not perfect at the first stage. You are the the one who understand your own business better then the web design company you are going to choose for your business. Its essential to ask them how many rounds of changes you get to make on their final product. If its at least two or more then two, its good enough for you as you can change things according to your ideas and needs of your own customers.
Do they make wireframes?
Wireframes are less known in industry customers who are going to web design companies. Its actually a sketch of ideas and elements you are going to get in the end as final product. Its essential to ask for wireframes as it will give you 50% of idea on the directions your project is going in. Another plus point that you can have an additional round of changes on the initial ideas of your web design sketch which is not possible if you have only two set of changes on live designs.
