Questions to Ask Your Web Design Agency

There are a lot of web design agencies out there, all of which claim to offer similar services. However, that doesn’t mean that all web design agencies are created equal, nor does it mean that you should choose the first agency you come across. When you are looking for a web design agency, you need to ensure that you are choosing the right team of creatives for your business and unique requirements. This requires you to ask some questions.

Do You Have a Portfolio?

It’s always a good idea to ask a web design agency to see their portfolio before you decide to hire them to design your website. This will give you a good idea of their creativity, skill and the type of designs they are capable of coming up with. Some agencies specialise in different sectors, and you need to know that your industry is one that they are familiar with.

When you are looking at their portfolio, consider if their other websites align with what you want from yours. For example, are they modern and stylish enough for you, and do they have features that would work for your industry? If you don’t see anything that you like, it’s unlikely that it’s the agency for you. The portfolio will also give you the opportunity to check that their websites are easy to use and responsive, which all websites need to be.

What is Your Process?

There’s a lot that goes into designing a website, and so it’s helpful to know what a web design agency’s process is. Having a clear roadmap is important, as this will let you know when you can expect revisions and completion of individual tasks, and the general timeline for the project. If they don’t have a clear process, they might not be experienced enough for your needs.

You should also find out what they need from you along the way; do you need to provide images, and are you responsible for creating the content? If you want a completely ‘hands off’ website design experience, you should look for a web design agency that takes care of everything as part of their development process.

What Other Digital Marketing Services Do You Offer?

Once you have a professional website, you will need to think about how you are going to market your business online. Choosing the same agency for all of your digital marketing needs is likely to be cheaper and it will also cut down the risk of miscommunication happening between different agencies. Branding, content writing, photography, SEO, PPC and email marketing are key to promoting your website and business successfully.
