When you go online and decide to choose a web design company the choices you do have are some what limitless. There are just so many companies now online on the google search engine that you are really spoilt for choice. The question is how do you know what web design company to engage to look after not only your online marketing but also your search engine optimisation or SEO?
There are many web design companies who tout their business on google and pretty much if you do bother to read what they are saying all say the same thing. They all seem to offer the same web design services, they seem to offer the same thing and they all on the surface appear to be offering the same thing.
On top of this you do have search engine optimisation companies appearing to be web design companies and vise versa. So at the very end of the day the question remains how do you choose the right comapny and once cjosen how in all good faith do you know that the choice you have made is in fact the right choice.
Ther are probably two really important things that you should do prior to engaging a company. One is to ask the potential company to show you a list of clients they have worked with in the past say one to two years as well as finding out some testimonials of clients. Perhaps even give these clients a quick call to see the kind of service they received as well as the kind of turn around times they experienced in the web design process. Its always good to really thoroughly check references and testimonials. Have a wide spread check list as this way you will get a full understanding of not only the type of people and businesses they worked with but also you will get a cross section of businesses and not just one or two businesses.
Also, see if the web company is happy to have a face to face meeting or at least an in depth phone conversation with you to discuss a web brief in detail. Doing it all via email is not an ideal solution and this should be a determining factor in making your informed decision.

There are just so many web site design companies advertising their wares online especially on google. If you do a basic search and type in the key word web site design you will see literally hundreds of companies online. So as a business owner how fo you choose a web site design company if there are just so so many to look at. You are almost spoilt for choice and really might be at a disadvantage as thjere are just so many web design companies all really saying and offering the same things.
Here are just a few ways that you can differentiate these companies and see if the web site design company is legitimate :
1) has the web design company got a strong and varied portfolio that you can see online and are there any companies or brands with in this portfolio that you can recognise. If they only have a couple of sites on their web site for you to look at and if these are not to your liking then I would not be usine this company. Go got a studio that has a really strong and varied portfolio and one whose designs look as though they have had some thought put into them. This will work better for you and your business branding online in the long run as you will end up with a web site that has its own personality as well as a look and feel that clearly articulates through design your businesses uniqueness.
2) if the website design company has a domain name that has the words web design in the name then they are probably a search engine optimisation comapny and not a web site design company. What they are doing ( and this is really imporatant) is optimising the word web design by having it in their name so it it easily indexed by google. This in most cases means that they will not be a web site design company and are a seo company pretending to be a design company. This is really easy to spot so if you do see this I would stay well away from even contatcting these people. You will probably end up in their spam cycle and get emails daily from india. Be warned these guys are cowboys just out to take your money and deliver if they can actaully deliver a web site a sub standard product.
