3. History and Experience
• What kind of work has the website design company done
in the past? Who were their past clients? Try to look at
websites that they have designed in the past and in recent
times. Look for signs of progression and development.
• Look up testimonials and online reviews to see what
clients are saying about a company’s work. Make sure to
choose the company with the best proven results.
4. Company Website
• If a company is going to offer to design other people’s
websites, than they should have a strong website built for
themselves.
• The best website design companies are those who can
practice what they preach. There should never be any
broken links or 404 pages on the company’s website. It
should be visually appealing, easy to
use, responsive, and mobile friendly.
5. Quality of Design Work
• What will your website look like? You should look for a
website design company that can create a website for
your company that reflects on what you do. If you have a
logo, the website design should match it.
• Remember, there is more to a website than just the
design. Don’t be fooled by companies who can create
visually pleasing websites, but fail in optimization and
other areas.
6. User Experience.
• What kind of user experience can the website design
company create? Ask for examples of past work they
have done so you can see for yourself.
• Some things to consider in regards to user experience are
speed, ease of use, and responsiveness. Do the pages
load quickly? Were you able to find what you were looking
for?
• Keep your audience in mind. Different types of audiences
may have different needs. Will the website design appeal
to your target age group? Did you know changes can be
made to make a website more accessible to deaf and
blind users?
7. Mobile Compatibility
• More and more people are accessing the web through
their mobile phones these days.
• An average of 30% of all individuals primarily use their
mobile device to access the web rather than a computer.
• It is crucial to have a website with mobile capabilities in
order to get the highest possible website traffic.
• Websites should be designed with either a unique mobile
version of the website or through responsive coding that
will allow the website to adapt naturally when viewed on
mobile devices.
8. Search Engine Friendliness
• If no one can find your website, than what good is it? It’s
important to choose a website design company that can
design a search-engine friendly website for your business.
• A search engine friendly website will be well designed,
easy to use, SEO optimized, and responsive.
• Clean coding and proper use of Meta Tags and Headings
are essential.

company will know what content to include on your
website to increase conversions.
