Hiring a web design firm to redesign your business website is a big decision. You want to be sure that the company is a good fit for you and can accommodate your needs in a manner that best suits you.

Below are four things to consider when hiring a web designer or web design firm:

1. Budget: Many business owners might consider website expenses an area where they can skimp. I strongly urge against this. A website is a crucial part of your brand image. Without a website that accurately portrays your brand message, you’re providing clients with a perception of your brand that isn’t correct. This can have severe consequences for the success of your business.

When looking to hire a website designer, you want to be sure that you are getting the best website possible. This doesn’t mean that the most expensive web design firm web design firm is the way to go. That’s why you have to research all of your options.

Business owners who spring for the cheapest website design firm with the hopes that the firm will give them a satisfactory product is by no means the right mindset to have. A low-budget firm that provides generic template designs cannot possibly create a website that is in line with your brand image.

Your brand is special and different from your competition, right? If you hire a design firm that provides you with a generic web design interface, you’re not expressing to your audience that you’re special. Rather, you’re showing prospects that you provide a generic and average service. You won’t stand apart from the competition, and you won’t see the business success you desire.

A successful website is customized, easy to navigate, and effective in driving prospects and customers to take action. A web design company that can provide you with a website that embodies all three of these characteristics is exactly what you want. But not every design company knows how to do this-which is why the successful ones tend to be on the higher price range. They have a skill that is difficult to find in other firms.

If you’re not ready to spend a large sum of money on your website just yet, then hold off a bit longer until you have the budget to get your website done right the very first time. I’ve seen many business owners go through several ineffective website designs before hiring the right firm to get the job completed exactly to their liking. These business owners have wasted thousands of dollars by choosing a design company that was low budget.

2. Location: Would you rather your web designer be located within driving distance, or does it matter to you where they’re located? That’s definitely a question you want to ask yourself. This tidbit of information will help you narrow your search. We’ve worked with several design firms in the past. Some were located across the country, others in our city. We don’t mind working with design firms across the country. If they’re the perfect fit for us or our clients, then we’ll use them. We won’t force a fit with a company in our city if we’re not crazy about them.

3. Previous Designs: Always view both the firm’s testimonials and portfolio. Just looking at a design company’s portfolio isn’t going to tell you what it’s like to work with them. They could produce an excellent product but cause their clients massive headaches and stress. You want a firm that is easy to work with and provides you with the best product possible.

Testimonials will tell you the experience past clients had with the company, and a portfolio will show you the types of websites and designs they produce.

If you don’t see testimonials or a portfolio on a designer’s site, this could be a red flag. You shouldn’t have to ask a firm to send you images of their past designs-these items should be easy to find on their website.

Some things to look for in a company’s previous designs include…

• Ease of navigation through the site.
• Effectiveness in encouraging site visitors to take action.
• Visual aesthetics.
• Static HTML pages that contain optimized web copy and images that can be crawled by search engines. When an entire site is flash-based, it cannot be crawled by search engine spiders and robots.

4. Your Gut Feeling: Always trust your gut feeling. If a company rubs you the wrong way-even if you can’t pinpoint what’s causing the bad feeling-don’t go with them. You want to feel completely comfortable with and confident in the firm you choose. If you’re uncertain about anything, address your concerns with the company. And if you’re still unsure about working with them, hold off and look for other firms that might suit your needs.

With web designing, company procedures vary greatly across the industry. It is not uncommon for one web design company to “poo poo” another’s work and techniques. Primarily because most consumers are completely uneducated in this relatively new marketplace. But truth be told, on a whole, there is really no good or bad way to build a website, no matter what any web design company might tell you. Usually, it is a simply matter of preference.

Some of the most hotly debated topics with any professional web design company are the format of your website, the platform for content management, the actual layout and presentation and internet marketing techniques, primarily search engine optimization. Again as tempting as it is to declare a correct solution for any of these, it usually boils down to preference unless your web design company has substantial statistics to support their case. Regardless, there are important things to consider when paying for any website design service or working with any web design firms.

Web Design Format

For now, the war is between flash and HTML. What is good about flash is that it is often more eye-catching. Flash websites lend themselves better to application development. A flash site can often operate fluidly like software. HTML sites can also work like software, but flash just looks cooler with its high end transitions and animations.

HTML is usually preferred by business or corporate websites by most web design companies. Also most social media and monetized websites are built with HTML. This type of web design allows for expansion with content. The text content in HTML websites is also better indexed by search engines, though there have been great strides forward with flash indexing. Hybrid flash/HTML sites have the best of both worlds. They have the eye-candy of flash and the organization and functionality of HTML.

Website CMS Platform

A website is like a stage that is built to feature content. Some websites are built and stay the same throughout their existence. Many other websites have content that changes frequently. These sites need some sort of user-friendly content management system in order to easily update that material on the website. There are many ways to do so like custom php/mysql structures, Ruby on Rails or other open source content management systems.

These methods, as all coding like, java, asp, XML, etc are extremely controversial from one web design company to the next. No one can agree which is the best to pursue. The determining factors should be functionality and anticipated growth. Basically if your prospective web designer has built websites previously that perform well and has confidence that they can continue to grow with your venture as it evolves, how the web development is accomplished is essentially irrelevant.

Website Layout

With any website design company, there are some foregone standards and conclusions regarding web design layout, like top positioning and placing your most important content in the upper left corner. But successful websites come in all shapes and sizes. The best way to determine your layout structure is to evaluate your competitors. Whatever the majority of them do, is probably going to work well for you. It is however a good idea, at least for the near future, to cater to the least common denominator in monitors, 1024 x 768 resolution. This area should house your main content.

Search Engine Optimization

Search engine optimization is a great mystery to many. And many more still profess that they know it all. Whatever the case, results talk. Be sure that when you are taking advice regarding any sort of internet marketing that the web design or development company you hire or heed can offer you some of their own verifiable success stories. Search engines are continually evolving and nothing is a sure thing. There are ways to stay ahead of the game, but there are also a lot of surprises. Always keep a close eye on your results for any internet marketing dollars that you spend.

Of course, finding the best web design company involves more than researching format, content management, layout and marketing techniques. The important thing to remember is that web design is serious business, or to be more accurate, it can seriously affect your business. Many people pay it only secondary attention and often miss great opportunities and suffer greater disappointments. When selecting your web design company be sure that you interview them thoroughly and have detailed communication about your expectations before you begin anything. Educating yourself will help you in the end to get the best website for your money and help to ensure that you are creating a new and viable branch of your business.
