1. Do The Values And Priorities Of The Web Design Company Match Yours?

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]While hiring a web design company with experience is always important, it should come second to whether their values and priorities match yours.

You want a company that is going to fit in well with your ethos which will make working with them easier.

Know what is important to you (such as time management, a focus on business growth, flexibility or drive) and find a company that understands and will work within that framework.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”vc_default” css=”.vc_custom_1486991143467background-color: #f4f4f4 !important;”][vc_column][vc_column_text]

2. Test Them On A Small Project To Start With

Ask for a sample first. If you are needing to rethink your entire online strategy don’t try to do it all at once.

Even for a website redesign, ask for a sample (even if you have to pay for it). Click To Tweet

That way you’ll be able to work out whether you’re both on the same page regarding the design work and also whether you can see yourself building a relationship with the web design company in the long run.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

3. Understand And Negotiate The Costs Upfront

Money often becomes an issue in business relationships. Make sure that you understand how the costs will work and get an idea of what future work will cost if there are changes or updates that need to be made.

Clarify who will be responsible for what – for example, if there is new text that needs to be written for the site, clarify who will do this.

This is an excellent time to negotiate,

Request a discount for pre-payment if there are recurring costs. Click To Tweet[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

4. Clarify What You Will Receive

If there are design files, images, additional text or coding, clarify who they belong to – you may need the editable files such as PSD (Photoshop) or AI (Illustrator) format.

You should also receive an editable version of your logo that is PSD, AI, EPS, or PDF. Click To Tweet

At this stage it would be helpful to find out the rates that the web developer and the designer charges for changes to these files and whether they would be available for revisions and updates.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

5. Ask For Examples Of Previous Work

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Look for a web design company that can show you a wide range of previous work or sample designs.

You want to know that you’re getting a new concept for your website taking into account your brand.

You shouldn’t feel that the company has a one-size-fits-all approach to the design process. Click To Tweet

Remember to ask for examples of similar sites (for example if you have an online shop, you want to know that they have built an online shop before).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_js]JTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwdHlwZSUzRCUyMmFwcGxpY2F0aW9uJTJGbGQlMkJqc29uJTIyJTNFJTBBJTdCJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIyJTQwY29udGV4dCUyMiUzQSUyMCUyMmh0dHAlM0ElMkYlMkZzY2hlbWEub3JnJTIyJTJDJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIyJTQwdHlwZSUyMiUzQSUyMCUyMlJldmlldyUyMiUyQyUwQSUyMCUyMCUyMm5hbWUlMjIlM0ElMjAlMjJDdXN0b21lciUyMFJldmlldyUyMiUyQyUwQSUyMCUyMCUyMml0ZW1SZXZpZXdlZCUyMiUzQSUyMCU3QiUwQSUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMiU0MHR5cGUlMjIlM0ElMjAlMjJUaGluZyUyMiUyQyUwQSUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMm5hbWUlMjIlM0ElMjAlMjJMYWI0MSUyMiUwQSUyMCUyMCU3RCUyQyUwQSUyMCUyMCUyMmF1dGhvciUyMiUzQSUyMCU3QiUwQSUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMiU0MHR5cGUlMjIlM0ElMjAlMjJQZXJzb24lMjIlMkMlMEElMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjJuYW1lJTIyJTNBJTIwJTIyQ2xpZW50cyUyMiUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUwQSUyMCUyMCU3RCUyQyUwQSUyMCUyMCUyMnJldmlld1JhdGluZyUyMiUzQSUyMCU3QiUwQSUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMiU0MHR5cGUlMjIlM0ElMjAlMjJSYXRpbmclMjIlMkMlMEElMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjJyYXRpbmdWYWx1ZSUyMiUzQSUyMCUyMjQuODMlMjIlMkMlMEElMjJiZXN0UmF0aW5nJTIyJTNBJTIwJTIyNSUyMiUyQyUwQSUyMndvcnN0UmF0aW5nJTIyJTNBJTIwJTIyMSUyMiUwQSUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCU3RCUwQSUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCU3RCUwQSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRSUyMA==[/vc_raw_js][/vc_column][/vc_row]
