Now ask yourself, if all companies promise such good services, why are there annoying low-quality websites? Who made these designs? The same companies appear in the search results. So how do you filter out the bad apples to reach the right companies? The crucial aspect you need to know before hiring a company is whether they will deliver the things promised.
Here are some factors to consider before hiring a company:
1.Portfolio
All companies present their best websites in the portfolio section. It can help you assess your team’s creativity quotient. This area showcases real client work and reflects a company’s design experience. Make sure the web designer’s overall style in their portfolio matches your needs. Go through the websites shown in their portfolio to make sure they are user-friendly, error-free, and load quickly.
2. experience
The agency in question should have extensive experience with WordPress, eCommerce, WooCommerce, Magento and other similar technologies. Check that 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 accomplish this task.
3. Timeline
Every project has a deadline or period of time within which it 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, takes at least 2-3 weeks to go through all the processes from the analysis phase to the testing phase. If someone claims they can deliver the project to you in 2-3 days, be suspicious. Hire someone who will request a reasonable amount of time relative to the needs of the project.
4. Customer Service
Competence doesn’t matter if they can’t respond to calls or emails in a timely manner. If they ignore their customers during business hours, they probably won’t meet the deadline and probably won’t be able to provide better customer service. Prefer a company that offers 24/7 customer service.
5. Communication Skills
In addition to the actual design and programming of the website, communication plays a crucial role. Just stay away from people who are not good at communicating and reply late. You can rate their communication efficiency through initial calls, emails or suggestions.
6. Service Standards
All companies promise that they will provide customers with appropriate marketing strategy along with the design/development solutions. Total service means they offer other digital solutions like SEO, eCommerce, mobile compatibility, and social media marketing to help your business succeed online. You need to find an agency that has a team of experts for every promised service.
These are the few qualities that a good web design company should possess. Avoid companies that offer the lowest rates but lack clarity on project development progress. Instead, choose one that suits your budget and technical needs.
