Every business needs to have a website, but most don’t know the background factors and tools that make a good website and hence hire someone to build them one. If you are also looking to build your website from scratch, or spruce up your existing one, here are some handy tips on how to hire a website designing company in India or elsewhere.
But before you start your search, there is something you should be ready with, and it is your project requirement. List down everything you want from your website; if you are building a new one, it will be a detailed list of things and if you are upgrading your existing one, it should have features and tools that are missing from your existing one. Once that is done, make a list of potential design companies you want to work with. You can do Google search for that or ask friends or families who have done so before. Then screen them using the following tips.
How is their own website?
A website design company should have a great website for itself. Once you are checking their website, look out for:
- The time it takes to load
- Layout
- Ease of navigation
- Page structure
- CTA placements
- Information distributed
If their own website is not good, chances are, they won’t do a good job with yours! You can list both freelancers and website design firms in this potential company to check out the list. Trim your list first by visiting their website. Furthermore, check out their previous works and testimonials to see if they fit your requirement.
Did they understand your requirement?
Once you are happy with the website, contact them and let them know about your requirements. One thing you should keep in mind while selecting your list of a potential design company is the nature of your work. If you want some customized website designs, it is better to go to a website design company rather than freelancers as the former will have more expertise on that. If your work is more general, you can go for freelancers as they will be cheaper. So, once you have given your requirement to them, see what feedback they give you. Based on that, you can move on to the next step.
What is their process of work?
Once you are happy with the price quoted by the company as well as the timeline of your job, ask about the whole process they will go through. A reputed website designing company in India will have a specific team to handle their client’s work and each member will be responsible for a particular step of the process. With an efficient team and streamlined process, your design work will be done within the deadlines given and without any mistakes. Another tip in this regard is to ask if they will be following the AGILE process. This process of work includes testing parts of the project during the development stage to see if they are working well or not. That way any changes that need to be made can be done during the development stage itself. So these are some of the tips to follow while selecting a website design company for designing your website.
