Finding a Professional Website Design Company

The Web Design Company Portfolio

I should probably explain that there are two main things to consider with this point.

When you are looking at potential website design companies you should definitely look at their web design portfolio. If you discover an small portfolio or the site is lacking a portfolio page altogether it isn't necessarily the case that they are not a great web design company. However it probably means they aren't good or don't need to sell their services in this way. If a company is doing very well, and regular business is coming in throughout the year a company may not get time to update their portfolio and why should they if they have enough work without updating it. Therefore an empty portfolio could be a sign of a great web design company. It would be in your interest to give the company a call and see what the situation is with their portfolio.

If the web design company has a large portfolio of professional looking sites don't take the work at face value. Possibly these sites may have been completed as a partnership with another company or may not even belong to the web design company at all. It's worth contacting one of organisations on the portfolio to discover how the relationship with the web design company went and if they would recommend them.

Think about the future

The Internet is equivalent to the world's largest telephone or business directory. However if you were 1 of 50 billion different entries in your phone book what are the chances you'd be picked out for the services you offer? You need some way of ensuring that you'll get some visitors to your professional new web site. This is why the company needs to think about search engine optimising from the point where your website is being planned and implemented. Some of the questions you'll need to ask include:

• Can I customise the metadata keywords and description for my web pages
• Will my site have search engine friendly web addresses
• Are you familiar with Google Webmaster Tools
• Can you offer me a free web site statistics package for me to track my visitors

If the answer is yes to these questions then you know you are heading the in the right direction to drive traffic to your web site.
