Things to Consider before Picking out a Web Design Company

1.  Company Website

Whenever you select a web design agency in India, always check their website’s design. If the designing on their website is attractive and eye-catching that means that they can do the same for your site. If the site doesn’t interest you then you need to move ahead and check for some other agency.

2.            Company’s History

You need to check their website and go the about us section to learn about their history. Check for the number of years they have worked for. It is crucial that you verify their working years. In case you find a company that has been in business for quite a few years then you may go ahead and collaborate with them.  

3.            The Team of the Company  

Generally, on the about us page, an agency often lists down their team members. This proves their authenticity and signifies that they have a real team that will work on your project. If they have listed down the habits and personality traits of each team member, then it surely is an agency that is genuine.

4.            Do they have an in-house team?

You need to verify if the company has an in-house team or do they hire freelancers for their projects. If they have a team of their own, you will be able to achieve better communication and proper project hand over. Companies that depend on freelancers often end up messing their projects.

5.            Company Testimonials and Reviews

Go through their website and look for the testimonials section. Many times, when an agency has a good client base, they list down customer feedback on their site. You need to check that out and ensure if the responsive are positives. Besides that, you also give a look at Google reviews to see if the ratio of positive feedback is high or not.

6.            References

Try to can get in touch with parties that have worked with the web design company. Getting a direct review will definitely help you make a better decision. They will give a real review and would not hide their mistakes. In fact, they will also tell you about their strong points/weak points and show you a sample of their work. This technique is a little tough as you may not be able to reach their customers directly every time.

7.            Search Engine Rankings

Now, this is one of the most essential things you need to consider. Make use of popular keywords on search engines like Google and Bing. If the company does not show up that you definitely need to stay away from a company like this. An agency that does not hold a substantial search engine position is hardly a good one.

8.            Mobile Responsive Design and Structure

When you check the agency’s website, do not forget to check that on your phone as well. If the design is adaptive with your tab or smartphone, then it is a company that can be trusted.

Is the Web Design Company Responsive Enough?

After following all of the above-mentioned points, you need to take another step forward. It is time that you make a phone call or send an email to the agency that you have selected. This time, you have to see how responsive they are to your queries and requirements.

Don’t forget that sometimes if you have connected with a small business, they may not have a sales executive or BDE; you may connect to the owner or manager directly. So, you need to give them enough time as they may be taking other clients at the same time. If you specifically ask you to wait for an hour or so, then give them the liberty and then check how they respond. If they do not respond at all., that means they are unprofessional or if they do, then they really care.

After you connect with them over the phone, your task is taking note of how interested they are. If they are keen and have lots of questions that means they are genuine.

Then, ask the following questions from yourself and see where they stand: -

• Do they respond to phone calls d/or call back within 24 hours?
• Do they reply to your initial queries within 1 or 2 days?
