Be sure to choose a good website designer: how to make sure you get the right website designer for the job

By James Galloway


Due to the massive growth and popularity with the Internet we have seen a massive increase in the value and use of website design companies. You would have seen the different free options online to getting a website but nothing actually matches having your own unique project from a professional designer.

What you should be looking for in a website design company is not just a pretty looking site. I have been in the industry since the year 2000 and I have seen plenty of great looking sites which do absolutely nothing, no traffic, no sales, nothing.

The key to a successful website is to make sure the company who builds your website actually takes care of many things including market research, keyword research, online branding, on page optimization, off page optimization for continued growth.

It is with a combination of these key services which will enable you to determine if you have found the right website design company to work with. You need to get this right as it is the difference between making a really good advertising investment to just chucking money away.

Your designer needs to be current with todays technologies and search engines. Search engines change constantly and update how they search for content. What is expectable today may not be expectable tomorrow and so your designer needs to be moving with this. Your designer also needs a good understanding of different sales models and the psychology of sales. Understanding consumers spending habits will all help towards site conversion.

A website is a start to a long term project. It is a serious addition to your business and done correctly will become such a valuable investment. It requires continued work after the build in the form of off page SEO. SEO will promote your site helping you rank for your keywords, and should be a long term project.

You really should avoid a website design company who is using templates. A template site is not unique and you are wasting your time and money with this. You want your site to be totally branded to you and built from ground floor with your business in mind.

Do not be sold on empty promises, ask for proof of websites which rank high for previous clients. A good website designer will have plenty of these to share with you and from here you will know if this will be for you or not.

To finish with please make sure you enter this with a serious attitude. Do not misunderstand the power of a high ranking website and what it can do for you and your business. V:5
