What is Professional Web Design?

This is when you hire a web designer to create a website for your business. It’s the easiest way to ensure your website looks professional, keeping customers coming and allowing you to focus on other areas of your business. Here’s how it works...

First, you discuss what your website needs to achieve. The designer then plans, creates, and maintains the website for you, at a bespoke price. Finally, you’ll have a sleek website that should help your business outshine the competition. Once the website’s finished, you’ll have the option to make changes to the on-site content whenever you like.

How much does web design cost?

When talking about how much a website costs, there are many different factors at play. For instance, how much you spend on your new website will depend on the overall size of the project, the type of features you require, and whether you’re paying by the hour, by the day, or as a one-off fee. In other words, it’s difficult to pin down an exact price.

How do I choose the best web design company?

In order to maximise the potential of your new website, you need to choose a web design agency that understands exactly what you need. To do so, you must ask them the right questions, including:

Have you previously designed sites for my specific industry?
In other words, do they know what features and layouts will work for your business? Can they provide references from satisfied clients that are easy to contact? Are their previous clients still using their design? Are the designers still maintaining their clients’ websites?

How will you charge for your services?
The type of invoice you’ll need to pay may have an effect on your choice. For instance, the cost of hiring a freelance web designer will depend on whether you’re being charged for the whole project as a one-off fee, or by the hour. Also, does their previous work justify the cost they have quoted? How much will it cost to maintain the website (for example, hosting and domain name management, and support costs)? These are all important questions to consider when you get a web design quote.

What ongoing maintenance will you offer?
How readily available are the web designers in case something goes wrong? Will you need to pay extra for ongoing maintenance and back-end support? How quickly can the web designers get out to help you if the issue can’t be resolved over the phone?
