Best Web Design Agency
Whether starting a brand from the ground up or overhauling your current website, working with a website design agency gives you access to the top experts in web design.
In fact, top agencies have access to the latest tools, technologies and processes to ensure that what looks great is also a high-performance platform — if you find the right agency, that is (not all agencies are created equal).
We’ll break down exactly what to look for in a partner to help you choose the best website design agency for your project.
Whether you’re starting a brand from the ground up or your current website needs a complete overhaul, due to lack of performance, working with a website design agency gives you access to the top experts in web design.
How To Find The Best Web Design Company
Follow the step-by-step guide below to educate your team and learn how to evaluate potential web design companies to partner with your brand.
Step 1: Define Your Needs
Before you start the hunt, the first step is to fully define your needs. Here are three key areas to consider:
- Design vs. code: Are you looking to build a new website from the ground up? Or do you have a current design or code base that needs updating to adhere to industry best practices?
- Design approach: Are you satisfied to work with an agency that works with templates or do you need an agency that designs custom solutions?
- Growth goals: What are your specific goals for the website? For example: Higher brand awareness (SEO), more traffic, greater engagement, increased conversion.
- Platform requirements: What are your specific requirements for the website? Do you have a platform in mind? e-Commerce vs. informational? CMS preferences? (WordPress, Shopify, Magento, Custom).
Creating a website request for proposal (RFP) document can help you organize and define your project for potential agencies. Agencies that are interested in bidding on your project can then use this document to respond by submitting a proposal or a bid.
Step 2: Start Your Search
The best way to find an agency for your digital project is, of course, online! Use a search engine or check out a B2B marketplace like DesignRush — you can actually view your firm here and look for a tailored search based on location, expertise, review score, and more.
Step 3: Research & Shortlist Agencies
Once you have some candidates, dive into their portfolios and work. Do not judge a firm by its cover; look at each agency's work to determine their expertise.
- Website: Is the agency's own website appealing, easy to navigate, and professional? Does it load fast?
- Results: Do the agencies focus on specific areas like redesign or branding? What full-stack capabilities do they offer (SEO, copywriting, development)?
- Portfolio: A reputable agency will have a digital portfolio with case studies or examples of successful sites for clients. Look through the projects to get an idea of the agency's style and see if they have experience in your industry.
- Client testimonials: Review feedback from past clients. Look for agencies with 4-star and above ratings and read feedback about processes, communication and deliverables.
Step 4: Meet With The Agency(s)
Meeting with your potential partner, whether in-person or digitally, allows you to get to know the team members who will be working on your project and ask questions about what the agency's processes look like behind the scenes.
Critical questions to ask when interviewing a web design agency include:
- Have you worked with clients in my industry?
- What digital services do you offer in addition to web design?
- Do you have a portfolio showing work similar to my industry?
- How does your team manage website projects?
- What does your website development process look like?
- Who are the team members that will be working on my project?
- Why is your custom WordPress website best for my project?
- What will our partnership look like in terms of communication and support updates?
- How much will my project cost and how long will it take to complete?
- How do you measure results?
Step 5: Make Your Decision
Finally, take time to review the proposals and the people. Does your team connect well with theirs? Do you trust their expertise and the solutions they proposed?
