Now wonder, if all companies promise such good services, then why are there low-quality irksome websites? Who made those designs? The very same companies showing up in the search results. So, how does one filter out the rotten apples to reach the right firms? The crucial aspect you need to know before hiring a company is will they provide the things they promised.
Here are some factors to consider before hiring any firm:
1. Portfolio
All companies showcase their best websites in the portfolio section. It can help you judge the creativity quotient of their team. This area displays the real client work and truly reflects a firm’s design experience. Make sure that the web designer’s overall style in their portfolio matches with your requirements. Go through the websites displayed in their portfolio to ensure they are user-friendly, error-free and load fast.
2. Experience
The agency under consideration should have considerable experience in WordPress, ecomerce, WooCommerce, Magento and other similar technologies. Check whether the designer, who will actually work on your site, is well versed with all web technologies. If the project requires flash for an animated clip, the designer must be able to accomplish such task.
3. Timeline
Every project has a deadline or time range within which they have to be completed. Most companies show that they are committed to deliver their projects on time. Completion time doesn’t depend on the simplicity of project. Every site, whether simple or complex, needs at least 2-3 weeks to undergo all the processes right from the analysis stage to the testing phase. If someone claims that they can deliver you the project within 2-3 days, be suspicious. Hire someone who will demand appropriate time with respect to the project’s requirements.
4. Customer Service
Proficiency doesn’t matter if they are unable to respond to calls or emails in a timely fashion. If they are ignoring their clients during business hours, chances are they won’t meet the deadline and probably can’t provide better after-sales services. Prefer a firm that gives 24/7 customer service.
5. Communication Skills
Communication plays a vital role along with the actual website designing and programming. Simply steer clear of any individual who is unable to communicate well and responds late. You can evaluate their communicating efficiency through initial calls, emails or proposals.
6. Service Standards
All companies promise that they will provide clients with a suitable marketing strategy along with the designing/development solutions. Overall service means they’ll offer other digital solutions such as SEO, ecommerce, mobile compatibility and social media marketing to help your business succeed online. You need to find an agency which consists of a team of experts for every service promised.
These are the few qualities which a good web designing company should possess. Avoid firms which offer the lowest rates but no clarity on the project development progress. Instead, select one that meets your budget and technical requirements.
