Signs of A Good Web Design Company continued
Oct 62007
Aside from having a great website, good people skills, and postive feedback from previous clients the other signs of a good web design company include:
- Knowing the difference between “building” and “designing” a website - I will go into detail about this aspect in my next post. For now let’s just say that you want to hire a company that wants to not just build but design you website for you. Find out the company philosophy on building vs designing and if they tell you that you’re just being contrary and there is no real difference then that is not a good sign. Plus, that means that they do not have really good people skills.
- Custom designs - There isn’t really anything wrong if a web design firm offer template designs. After all some clients do not have a need for customized web page designs. However, it is a good sign if the web designers offers custom designs too. This means that not only do you have more choices but that in case you have specialized needs they have the experience and know-how to be able to make the needed changes in the template design (if that is what you chose).
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO) - Although there are SEO companies that you can hire to do you SEO for your site if you pick a web design company that offers SEO services then it will entail less worries for you as well as (usually) lower fees. If they do not offer SEO service they may have a sister SEO firm, which is also a good sign.

You make a very good point but from my own experience it is more easy and less cost if you learn SEO basics.
Many companies will charge over £200 just for basic SEO but think of the future…if you learn it then if you need to make another site you will know where to start.
Because most companies will only offer SEO on a single site - you will face more costs.
In the end it comes down the simple fact: TIME. If you have the time to put into SEO then i would go with reading up on SEO or even buy a book on it and then go from there. You can also find many free seo tools on the internet so it might be worth checking them out.
If you have no time to read up on SEO then go with a SEO company but keep in mind that you should shop around…
Just my own views (hope you don’t mind) as i too invested in both SEO company and i been learning SEO myself.

Hi we’re running video advertising campaigns for a well-known drinks brand and a top-rated American TV show, and would be interested in buying some advertising or advertorial space on your blog. I apologise for posting this here, but I couldn’t see where to get in touch. Also just to let you know this is not spam or an automated message although it may come across as such. Of course if this is not your area of interest/ something you want to get involved in I fully understand and thank you simply for taking the time to read this.
