What is a web design agency?
A web design agency is where you will find web designers creating websites. They are often surrounded by a range of disciplines to draw on during the making of a website. As an agency, rather than a single web designer, they provide a complete service, from design to go-live and beyond.
The result should be a hardworking website that gets the job done. A professional finish is usually the best way to make the right impression on visitors. Furthermore, a functioning site that ticks along in the background is a great way to bringing in leads. The best way to achieve this is with a web design agency.
How much does web design cost?
Initially, web design cost depends on how your website is built. The DIY approach is to use a website builder like Wix or Squarespace, or by hiring a web design agency to do it or you. DIY is always a fraction of a professional job however, if you are serious about growing your business, website quality is essential.
Depending on who you go to and how complex your site is, web design can cost anything from a few thousand to tens of thousands of pounds. If you are being quoted the latter for a simple 10-page site, you are probably being taken for a ride.
How do I find a good web design agency?
Check out who has built relevant websites you like and also who your competitors and industry leaders are using. You can usually find a link to the web design agency right at the bottom of every page – if they’re doing their job right.
Go along to local business networking events and get chatting. Check out your contemporaries websites and ask who they used. Find out if they had a good experience with their web design agency and if they felt the project delivered value for money.
Put together a website brief, send it off to at least three agencies and see what comes back for comparison. The more information you provide at this stage, the more realistic the quote will be from the outset, saving you from toing and froing down the line.
