Frequently asked questions
Hiring a web design company is one of the most important decisions you'll make for your business and you need to know if a designer is a good fit before finalizing your decision. Even the best web design company might not be right for you, depending on your business's specific needs.
What are a few of the best questions to ask a web designer to determine which company is right for you?
- What are your credentials or qualifications? Not only should a web design company be professional and experienced, its experience should match your needs.
- How do you run your company? Is it a fully staffed company or are freelancers used? Do you feel comfortable communicating with the people who are assigned to your project?
- How will my project be managed and how is communication handled throughout the process? There are many ways of accomplishing a site design and you need to be sure your designer makes you comfortable along the way.
- Do you have any case studies from previous clients that showcase tangible results after a design/redesign? This is a great way to judge the results of a designer's previous work.
- What is the cost for web design? Remember cheaper is rarely better, but you need to know that what you pay for will get you the results you want.
- How much time is invested in planning and researching? There should be analysis performed on your business, your competitors, and the market in general before the building of your site begins.
- Is conversion and usability testing included in your price quote? Results-oriented designers test pages to ensure the best options are being used.
- How is current traffic analyzed before design decisions are made? Even the most lackluster designs can have some strengths and you want to incorporate those into the redesign.
- How will the design you provide help me achieve my business goals? Make sure you know your business goals before asking! Do you want to increase conversion? Overall revenue? Add to your newsletter subscriber list? Reduce bounce rate? By how much and in what time frame? All of these are important decisions you need to make before a designer can begin his or her work.
- What does follow-up look like and what is done if my objectives are not met? A website isn't a product you can return to a store if it does not work properly, so there should be a plan in place for adjustments if things don't initially go as planned.
The best marketing strategies are comprehensive. This means you not only need a website, you need it to look professional and represent your company. A logo is an important part of your professionalism and how customers recognize your brand. We can help you design a logo that communicates the message you want to send about your company.
And when you are ready to take your marketing efforts off-line, we’ll help you design marketing materials that suit your needs. As valuable as a website is, sometimes there is nothing like an old-fashioned brochure to share information with potential customers. We are a top ad agency that helps you grow in every way possible – on-line and with traditional marketing methods that even today, still offer success!
Our goal is to help you achieve your on-line marketing goals in the best way possible. You have many options when it comes to hiring a freelance web developer and we know not all of them are what you need. Many developers make big promises for rock bottom prices, but you soon learn the quality is not up to your standards or there are hidden fees that drive the price up.
With us, you’ll know exactly what you are getting, for how much, and where you will be once the project is complete. Your business will enjoy a top-quality website that ranks high and is a great marketing tool you can use for years to come.
It’s no secret you can build your own website without spending a penny, and for business owners with a lot of time on their hands and some pre-existing knowledge of what works on-line, this can be a great way to save money.
It can also be a disaster.
Rarely do business owners have the time it takes to build a valuable website for their business that looks professional and accomplishes their goals. They are too busy running their business! Not to mention all the effort it takes to keep a site relevant and maintained once it is built.

Your business is unique and your website design should be too! The popular convention these days is to copy a successful design and stick with the trends that seem to be working. Though this can be safe, it does not’t communicate your message very well – you are a one-of-a-kind business that stands out from your competition!
We help you rise above with a unique, custom website design that enables you to make the most of your presence on-line Your business is one-of-a-kind and your web design should be too!
Search engine optimization (SEO) is an essential part of building a brand or business on-line Unfortunately, SEO can be a challenge for many business owners, especially when there are other priorities that come first. Hiring an SEO company is a great way to ensure effective results in search engine rankings without investing endless hours trying to crack the SEO code.
What questions should you ask an SEO company before signing on the dotted line?
- How will you improve my site's SEO? There is more to high rankings than just splashing keywords all over a site. Make sure you understand the strategy that will be used.
- How will SEO be incorporated into other marketing efforts? It takes a comprehensive plan to build a presence on-line for your company. You should have an understanding of all your options before deciding how to proceed.
- How do you measure success? The success of an SEO strategy should be based on measurable metrics and your specific goals. You'll want to know how many clicks there are to your site, how much time is spent on the site, what the bounce rate is, how many clicks convert to paying customers, and much more.
- Can I have a list of current and past clients? References can tell you a lot about an SEO company.
- Is local SEO an option? If you are a brick and mortar business (and sometimes even if you are not!), targeting your specific geographic market with SEO is essential.
- Will you share with me everything you change? You need to know that everything being used to improve your SEO is ethical and representative of your brand. Make sure you know how "the magic" is happening.
- How often will we communicate and how? Knowing what to expect in advance and ensuring an SEO company's communication strategy matches your own can avoid many problems throughout the process.
- What will SEO improvements cost? In addition to numbers, make sure you have specifics concerning where the money is going.
We put a tremendous amount of resources in testing and developing new SEO tactics. Rather than test them on our client's sites and put them at risk of dropping, we use our site as the sandbox. Strategies that we find effective, adopt on our clients sites. This is a key phrase / content heavy strategy that we are experimenting with.
