What to consider when talking to your website designer
How many web pages do you require?
You need to have an idea of how many pages your website design will have. Remember to include in the count the contact page, disclaimer page, sitemap or anything else you may want. This will enable your web designer to offer you an accurate quote.
What other website design formats do you like?
Take a look around and provide your website designer with a couple of other websites you like the format of. This is a much simpler way to communicate the style and layout of your website design.
Dynamic content
Think about what features the website design will contain. Very often someone will want a 5 page site with just text, and when it's done they want to add a personal blog, interactive calculator, login system, video, payment system etc. This increases the build time and naturally will cost more.
Colours and Style
Do you have a business card, brochure, or headed paper which will allow the web designer to get a feel of the colour and style you are aiming for. If you have an existing website you want upgrading then the designer can transform the colours and style into something fresh and professional.
The truth about SEO (search engine optimization)
If a design company talks SEO more than web pages, be cautious. The common guarantee they will have you on the first page of Google is ridiculous. No one can guarantee a position on Google and you certainly can't gain a high website ranking within a week. It takes time for search engines to recognise and index your website, and it never 'looks' at the design. If a website designer mentions meta data or keywords in-between each breath - press the ejector button! Content is king when it comes to optimization, not keywords, not engine submission, not tricks and invisible data. For those not up to date - Google CAN crawl and index content within Flash files- just don't fill your website design with rich media. A small five page web design with little content will struggle against the monster sites full of original dynamic content - it's really that straight forward.
Price and location
Generally you get what you pay for when it comes to website design. Large companies may charge more to 'out price' themselves while they deal with the giant websites. Here at animateme we are a small business who specialise in high quality SME business designs and price our website design accordingly. You may never need to meet your web designer, however knowing they are within the UK gives you that peace of mind on legislation, communication, and quality of website design.
