Why have a well designed website?
18th August 2016
Web Development
An online presence is no longer an option. Having a website is absolutely essential in today’s times. If you have no prior experience in having a website built, don’t panic! We have put together a brief guide to help you get a website you want.
References
Choose a web design agency after careful analysis. Ask for a list of previous clients, and review their websites. Don’t be shy of asking for references. Talk to their previous customers to know whether the project was delivered in time.
Ask for a couple of case studies to understand their approach and how they go about measuring results.
Proposal
Once you contact a web design agency for a quote, they will sit with you to discuss and understand your requirements in detail. They will then follow up with a detailed proposal to set the ball rolling.
Ensure that the proposal details everything clearly with no scope for ambiguity and hidden charges. Go through the terms and conditions thoroughly to ensure you understand the terms of the agency.
The proposal must detail the timeline of the project, from start to finish. Make sure the delivery is phased, which gives you time to review and provide feedback about the website in case you need some changes during the development stage.
Design
Ask your web design team about the code being used to build your website. CSS and XHTML are great coding languages. Websites designed using these languages meet industry standards, are quick to load and help with SEO too.
If you are looking for a website that you can manage and update yourself after launch, you need a CMS website. Ask them about the CMS options. WordPress is one of the most easy to use CMS platforms out there.
Ask
To be able to create a website that works for your business, your web design agency should be on your side. They should put in the time and the efforts to deliver the goods. Ask the team about their process and their methods. If they are making some recommendations, ask why.
If you are not sure about a particular part of the web design project or a particular feature that’s being used, ask. You can get a website you desire only when you know what you are into. You should never be in the dark when it comes to your investment. So ask without a worry. A competent web design agency will put in the efforts to answer your questions.
