Website View Profile

Web Design

You can search in Google for a website designer, but just because they show up first in Google, doesn’t mean that they are the best. I would recommend using a portfolio website like Sortfolio. Here you can see a large number of website design companies and also see some of their example work.

I would recommend that you use a local website designer. For Example if you live in Seattle, use a website designer in the Seattle area. Why? It is always great to have a face to face meeting with your designer so that they will have a total understanding of how you want your website to look and feel.

Why not contact multiple website design companies and estimates of how much the design will cost. Once you see the price tag, now it is time to consider other factors that will make the website successful.

FIND A DESIGNER WHO KNOWS SEO AND WEBSITES INTIMATELY

Remember the goal of a website is not to just look cool, but also to function in either sending a message to the intended audience, or to generate leads for your company.

BACKGROUND CHECK

Look for the website design company’s LinkedIn profile, and ask for references.
