                     How to Choose the 
Right Website 
Design Company for 
Your Business 
Needs
Whatever the case may be for you and your business, we all know 
that this is the digital age and therefore having an aesthetically 
appealing website is no longer an option, it is a must. More often 
than not, many people will interact with your website before they 
can interact with you, and so the website can help shape their 
view about you and your offerings. Hence, it is important to select 
a competent website design company who will make sure that 
your image is well presented on the internet.
How do you even go about making the right choice with so many 
options available? This guide will explain how to look for a web 
design company with the primary focus of your business in mind.
Understand Your Business Goals and 
Requirements
The last thing you want to do is to start looking for a website 
design company without first identifying what your business goals 
are and what your website requirements are. Are you out to 
necessarily build a new website or just give an existing one a 
face-lift and so on. This is important since having a clear goal will 
allow you to explain what you need clearly and help you confirm 
that the design company has the capacity to meet those needs.
Consider the following questions:
In your opinion, what is the main function of the page you are 
designing? (Lead generation, e-commerce, industry recognition)
Who are the intended users of the page?
What are the basic aspects you want to have on a page? (Content 
management system, search engine optimization, mobile 
friendliness)
What is the approximate cost of the operation that you are 
ready to incur?
If you have an answer to all these questions, addressing your 
requirements from a website design company becomes easier 
and more systematic when you evaluate your potential partners.
Assess the Company’s Portfolio and 
Experience
One of the efficient methods for appraising the proficiency of a 
website design company is appraising its portfolio. A detailed 
portfolio presents the works that the company undertook in the 
past which gives the client an idea in terms of design, skills, and 
ability to perform their work efficiently. When appraising a 
portfolio, consider the following points: –
Work Types:
Is the company able to handle or has dealt with projects of 
numerous industries? This diversity is an index of their capacity to 
embrace and touch on different aspects of business.
Design Quality:
Look at how visually appealing the previous projects were, how 
user friendly they were, and how nice they were. Are the websites 
made professionally and modern as per the requirements of the 
client?
Functionality:
Apart from the aesthetics, pay attention to the functionality of the 
websites as well. For example, how responsive are the websites, 
how fast do they load and how easy is it to use them? A 
competent web design company will create functional sites that 
are aesthetically pleasing at the same time.
Besides, ask for how long this company operates. How many 
years have they been in the business? Have they worked for firms 
of your industry and size before? A company that has been 
operational for a decent amount of time and has likewise relevant 
exposure will give you the kitchen sink approach you expect.
Check Client Testimonials and Reviews
Client reviews, and testimonies, are of vast importance to 
prospective customers planning to hire the services of a web 
design company. Search for such reviews inside the company and 
get as many as you can from other external sites such as Google 
My Business, Clutch, and Trustpilot i.e. Listen to customers. Look 
out for:
Client Satisfaction:
Are the clients satisfied with the overall results of the company’s 
work? They barely give bad reviews and this is very crucial in 
sustaining the corporate culture that centres around customer’s 
satisfaction.
Project Management:
How good are they at keeping time, and maintaining lines of 
communication and solving problems? Complaints in these areas 
and praises from customers, in these areas are reciprocal.
Results:
Clients’ opinions regarding the pertinence of the website to the 
client’s business are also useful. Was the new design beneficial in 
terms of traffic, interaction or better conversion rates?
Such things as lack of one or two reviews or some sources where 
you can find negative reviews are pretty understandable. But 
when people have run to such issues over and over again, there is 
no point in you trying your luck out on that company. Look for the 
phone number of some previous clients so that you can 
understand the kind of services they received from the company.
Investigate for Their Technical Know How
The purpose of creating a website is not enough with just creative 
designs, they should also know how to apply their designs in a-
building of a workable and expandable website. Key areas of 
technical expertise to consider include:
Responsive Design:
Your website needs to be responsive because it is no longer 
desktop-cantered; it should be able to function on any device, be 
it a desktop, tablet or smartphone. Check the company for past 
work done in responsive web designs.
CMS:
Many new-age websites are CMS based e.g. WordPress, Joomla or 
Drupal which make it easier to change content without any 
technical knowledge. See whether the business offers services on 
the CMY you want.
SEO Best Practices:
It doesn’t matter how attractive a site is, it will be rendered 
useless if it has been developed without regard to the search 
engines. For instance, you have to know what method the 
company employs in terms of SEO, operating system, Google 
page speed and mobile friendly.
E-commerce Capabilities:
Any company intending to sell these items will need to have 
underlying experience with cloud e-commerce SaaS apps, 
including Shopify, woo-commerce or Magento. Order forms, 
secure payment gateway integration and inventory management 
is possible with these professionals to ensure a great shopping 
experience.
Web Development Technologies:
The organization should provide proof of dealing with current web 
development enhancements like HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and 
PHP. If your project needs custom development, make sure they 
are capable of backend development and database 
administration.
Consider Their Design Process and 
Methodology
In order to appreciate the work, it is also critical for the 
website design company to explain to you its design process and 
methodology so that you are able to complete the project on time 
and on budget. A well-defined process usually will include the 
following stages within a process that is meant to be completed 
on budget and within timescales:
Discovery and Planning:
This is the very first step which involves collecting the 
expectations of the who, what and when, realizing your goals and 
aims of the business and determining what the project consists of 
practically. Coordinating concepts with the clients is essential 
since accurate definition of behaviour can provide a proper 
timeline for the project.
Designing and Prototyping:
In terms of your recommendations the company will either render 
design mock-ups or demonstrate workable prototypes. This step 
gives you a chance to see the interface design of the website 
before any actual construction begins. Look for companies which 
allow several revisions so that they get closer to the design you 
have in mind.
Development:
Thereafter, the development stage begins where the document is 
implemented and changed into a working website. The company 
should ensure best practices in writing the code, test it for cross 
browser compatibility and execute adequate testing to discover 
defects and correct them.
Testing and Launch:
Before the site is made live, it should have gone through various 
tests in order to ascertain that it works properly on all browsers as 
well as devices. Training on navigation and operation of the site 
through the CMS and the launch of the site should also be 
accompanied by proper steps of management from the company.
Post-Launch Support:
Providing post-launch support of the site is the result of great web 
design, and a company that is dependable will have this under 
control. This can be in the form of software upgrades, website 
security management and maintaining the overall health of the 
site’s elements.
Ask potential design companies about their process and how they 
handle each stage of the project. All stakeholders of the client 
should look at the process and interact with the designer as the 
partnership is critical in the success of the project.
Assess Their Interaction and Team 
Working Style
Communication is perhaps the most critical element that 
contributes to the success of web design projects. In the selection 
of the company for the site design, the means of communication 
and the style of performing work must be taken into account. The 
following points can be highlighted in the analysis:
Responsiveness:
How soon do people get back to you with proper answers? Prompt 
communication is important in ensuring that the project remains 
within schedule and any issues that may come up are dealt with.
Openness:
Are there courteous about what they can do, what they charge 
and how long the work will take? If a company is forthright, it will 
give a range of estimates and continuously update you on the 
project.
Participation:
To what capacity, will you be included in the design stage? There 
should be no shyness when giving suggestions to an efficiency 
enhancing organization. This is because the organization works 
hand in hand with you to ensure your ideas are implemented.
Project Management Tools:
Find out whether the company incorporates other means such as 
Trello, Asana or Basecamp to help update, allocate, track and 
manage tasks. This can improve work share and ensure all 
members are focused on the same goals.
Also, it is important to assign one person from their side who 
would be in charge of contacting you as well as managing the 
entire date. This to some extent reduces chances of confusion 
and ensures the flow of information is facilitated.
Consider Pricing and Budget
One other important aspect that you ought to keep in mind is the 
pricing structure of the website design company. However, pricing 
must not be the only aspect to consider. While it is necessary to 
locate a company with affordable web development services, the 
cheapest option is not always the best. Keep the following in 
mind:
Worthiness of Court:
This is to say that concentrate on how much value will be realized 
from the money invested. The return one is going to get from a 
properly honed website that fulfils one’s company set objectives 
is more than an edited and designed website for a very cheap 
price.
Clear Pricing:
Make certain that the company has stated where the money will 
go, such as the cost of the design, development, buy in with 
revisions, and costs of selling their websites, like SEO, or 
maintaining the site over time. More information may be read 
from the additional costs associated with them that get concealed 
or target vague structure patterns.
Payment Terms:
Ask about when and how they want to get paid. Several firms 
may ask for payments at the start, some portion then the rest 
after completing all the work, while others have strict payment 
plans.
In case of a stringent budget, speak to the company and let them 
know your most important requirements. They can be very 
efficient by designing the units one after the other where the first 
and most important ones are done first followed by the others as 
money comes in.
Do Not Ignore Your Guts Reasoning
Last but not the least, always go with your gut feeling as you 
select a website designing company. Though their skills and 
experiences do come into play, what is more important is how 
comfortable and willing you feel to go for the options provided 
above. A dependable working relationship is due to the trust and 
respect given to each other and the direction the project takes.
If something does not ‘click’ to you during the evaluation, it 
should be a reason enough to rethink some of the options. Not 
only should the website designing company be able to cater to 
your technical requirements, but should also be the kind of 
partner who is helpful in actualizing your concepts.
Weigh the Consequences
Selecting the best website design company is quite a lucky 
experience because you will have at your disposal the entire 
package from which you can boost the online performance of your 
company. From understanding your objectives, reviewing 
portfolios, reading combine reviews and checking technical 
capabilities, it is possible to get the most appropriate one for you.
A note on the website comes in the fact that well-made websites 
are good for the efforts put into marketing the brand. Spare some 
time to locate a website design company that has an appreciation 
of your goals, a vision of how these goals can be achieved and 
the ability to construct a website that works.
