Choosing a Web Agency

Thursday 11 August 2011

Every country in every city of the UK has a web agency and in Bristol's case for us many hundreds. It is sometimes hard to work out why or which Web Agency is best to choose.

These are our top tips to helping you choose the right web agency for you.

Price

A good amount of the time people compare different companies by price and more than not a cheaper or middle of the road company will get the job or contract.

I think price in the web industry is very agency dependent and you can get quotes from web agencies at all scopes of costs and understanding the difference between cheap and expensive is in presentation and understanding what you get for your money.

Services

Having a decent service is key and customer service is important to everyone who spend money and especially in the web industry. Having a helpline at the end of the phone anytime you need it, 24/7 website support and making sure you are treated as the client is key to which provider you go with when having a website commissioned.

A Web Agency that is not concerned with you as an individual but just as another cheque is not an Agency that people are going to refer or want to work with.

History

Before having work done from any Agency the history is important. Making sure that a Web Agency has a strong, well designed and Portfolio you like is paramount to getting a web solution that is correct for you.

The main alarm bells that should ring are when the web agency doesn't have a list of clients, a range of examples or some history behind it to back up that they are an established web agency.

Aftercare

No one wants to hand over money for a website and then not hear from the agency until annual payments come up or not hearing from your web agency when you have a request or urgent need.

A good web agency should contact you with regular updates and following the traffic and ranks in search engines and to some extent suggesting ways to improve the site and develop it forward.

Knowledge

A service from a web agency is one thing and having a web agency you can believe have the knowledge and experience to produce your site to be the best it can is important in having a website built.

A lot of companies don't understand how websites work and also avoid doing smaller bits and pieces due to time and cost. Making sure that the agency you choose is capable of doing and showing previous results as well as doing everything they say they will.

Results

Anyone who promises a solution should be able to deliver on the results. As much as the web is very much down to a lot of "ifs and buts" a good majority of how people work should and can be avoided to provide quality results.

Web agencies should be able to provide statistics to show that the site is being viewed and that enquiries are being made.

Conclusion

If your web agency or website provider is not providing good service or results for the money you pay them you should consider finding out why or looking at changing your provider to someone who can give you the results you are looking for.
