How to Choose the Right Web Design Company for Your Business

By January 16, 2013September 7th, 2013One Comment

If your business is truly important to you, then you know how difficult it can be to make even the lightest decision. Choosing a website design company is not a decision to be made without doing your due diligence.

To help you pick the right web design company, here are six tips you can utilize.

1. Look at testimonials

A sure sign of a good web designer is that he or she will have testimonials from previous clients on the front page of their own website. Read through these to get an impersonal impression of what other people think. Of course, they will all be positive, but perhaps, one or two of the testimonials will stand out and show you a good reason why you should hire that company.

Here at DuoParadigms, our clients aren’t just clients. Through the process of working with us, they become our friends. You can see what they have to say about us on our testimonial page.

2. Look at past designs

Sometimes, a web designer will be good at what he does, but he may not be the right match for your site. Perhaps, that particular designer specializes in a type of theme and that theme does not match your interests.

In these cases, it’s always important to look at past designs and pay attention to trends or patterns. You can get a good sense of what the designer likes by recurring themes.

While our designers at DuoParadigms have special design tastes, they also specialize in being able to work with YOUR style. You can see on our portfolio page some of the different trends and styles we have worked with through the years.

3. Consultation

The web designer you consider should be willing to work with you in an on-going basis. If they are only willing to consult with you once or twice, they aren’t the right choice for you. You need a designer who can keep you updated and show you the progress. The designer must also be willing to accept changes that you want to make.

Even after we finish a website, we’re committed to working with you. At DuoParadigms, we provide complimentary support and can even schedule time to walk you through your new website in person or remotely.

4. Benefits

If you plan to have frequent work done to your site, find out if your prospective designer is willing to work with you on the prices.

Here at DuoParadigms, we offer multiple site discounts, plus discounts on on-going updates for your website.

5. Understanding

Web designers need an understanding of the ever-evolving Internet. Businesses need to stay on top of trends and they need their websites to also adapt to the changes. Therefore, web designers need to also stay on top of changing trends. Site designs that worked five years ago may not work today.

We’re constantly staying in tune with the latest design trends at DuoParadigms and can work with you to design a website that will not only be trendy, but meet your business’ unique needs.
