I always attempt to give clients some good enlightening advice when selecting a company the is offering %anchor1% since it is a more elaborate decision in comparison with you may think plus does call for a lof of considered
There are a lot of different things to take into account when getting a new website made for your business or your own personal site. Choosing the right company is the most important decision that you will make and therefore is not something that should be taken lightly. I always say to people that viewing different web design portfolio's is one of the best way of sorting out the good from the bad design services and also I would say that speaking to some past customers is always a good idea and definitely gives a good indication of how good the customer service is of the company in question.
I would also always make sure that I check how busy the company is and how long they think it will take to deliver your fully functional website. Sometimes it can be better to pay a little bit more for a job that is done very professionally and also that is delivered quickly than wait a month for a cheap job, as in the time you could already be getting some custom on the internet
Another thing to look at is also whether the company takes care of any search engine optimization for the website. If you are not paying a lot for the site then this may just be code alteration and site submission. However to really dominate the search engines this will generally be a monthly fee. This all really depends on the level of competition in your particular niche and some are obviously a lot more competitive than others.
I would also always be willing to stretch the budget slightly for researching which keywords are best for me to target as this forms the whole foundation of the internet marketing process. Knowing what the customers are looking for is imperative to any campaign as for sure all the competition will be investing this as well. I would always also check what is the cost of hosting the website so you are aware of this and how much the renewal is likely to be in years time. Usually the company that you have chosen for the design will be able to facilitate this, or alternatively you can search for other companies that provide this service
Hosting is not something that you should skimp on as is very important for your online business. The more that your company is off-line then the more customers you are losing. I have also previously made the mistake of choosing hosting that only offers email support. But when something does go wrong with the website then good telephone support is what is required. Having said this some companies do offer online chat facilities, but this never is as effective as just speaking to someone on the phone where you can et your message across much easier.
My advise would always be to do quick a search on the internet for a web designer. It is of course a lot more convenient as you can do it from the comfort of your own armchair, but also you should make sure you choose a design company that is on the first page of Google for web design etc. This means you are selecting a firm that has knowledge in the field of SEO which as previously mentioned is integral to a successful campaign online. Just beware of companies on the paid search at the top and to the side as they are simply paying per click and this does not guarantee a knowledge of SEO
