1. 10 Questions You Must Ask While
Hiring a Web Design Company

2. Investing in a new business website is a big
decision and can be a very costly proposition. So,
before deciding which web design company you
are going to hire, make sure to know what exactly
you will get and how it will help you in expanding
your business.
To enable you to choose the right firm, we have
made a list of questions that you can ask your
potential design firm today. Try them for better
results.

3. 1. How big is your team and how
much experience do you have?
A good company is that which has a full team with them;
development team, design team, testing team and as well as
the marketing team. A large number of design companies do
not offer the development and marketing services which are
vital needs in the handling of your project.
You should also ask how much experience the organizations
have in the designing. Experience is the key here. A company,
been long in the business and which has done same tasks like
yours will effortlessly have the capacity to deal with your
project and will give you the wanted results.

4. 2. Which is the field you specialize
in?
Nowadays, website design companies are a complete
package. They can do all development and design work
along with testing and even have their own digital marketing
teams as well. You have to see whether the companies you
are investigating have every one of these services or not and
how great they are with their work.
Web design and development is a vast field and there are a
lot of domains in this field, for example, e-commerce website
development, community building website development,
mobile device websites and so on. Try to find out a company
who has experience of working in the same domain as yours.
For example, if you want an e-commerce website, try finding
out a company that has experience in delivering such project
earlier.

6. 3. Can I know the process that you
will follow while handling my project?
Inquire the working procedure of your website design
company. Every design firm has their own internal
website design process which may fluctuate from each
other.
Generally, there are five phases of website design
process and these are:
• Research and Planning
• Designing
• Developing
• Testing
• Launching
Get to know who will be the project manager or the
individual staff who will be engaged in your project. Ask
him/her if you could get the continuous updates and
report of your project from time to time with the goal that
you can know the progress of your project and as well,
give your essential feedback to them.

7. 4. Will my project be dealt with
completely in-house?
It is found that a lot of website design companies outsource
their project from other companies. Generally, the
development part of the site is left to be done by the third
party organization. You may just care about the project
completion and be okay with your project being out-sourced.
It may not look like an important issue but rather, it is most
likely an issue to consider. If the potential agency is
outsourcing their tasks then, do discover to whom they are
outsourcing it and ensure that your project is finished on
given due date inside your financial plan and meets every
one of your necessities.

8. 5. How would you base your pricing? Will
this be hourly, or flat-fee depending on the
task? What is your payment policy?
It is a normal practice in this industry to do a little analysis in
advance, underbid a task and after that raise, the cost on
customers as the website is being built. A lot of web design
company companies do this. But, the best company is that
who tells you clearly about their payment options and overall
cost that is required for the completion of your project, before
starting the tasks.
Nowadays, software companies utilize two approaches for
pricing and these are: fixed and hourly. If a client hires a
company on fixed price, the company will charge a
predefined cost for the venture. In this case, a client cannot
make changes to his requirements while the project is in
development.

9. While on hourly basis, a client can make changes
to the requirements and the company will charge
them depending on the time and potential they
have given while accomplishing the client’s goals.
So, make sure to clarify which pricing method you
are going to use before hiring any software
development company.
While the hourly billing provides you more flexibility
and clear communication with your developer, a
fixed price billing mode helps you in managing your
budget effectively. Both the payment modes have
their own advantages and disadvantages. So, you
should select depending upon your requirements
and budget.

10. 6. Do you have an SEO expert in your
team?
If a website is a vehicle then SEO is the fuel for it. Without
fuel, a vehicle can't run and is of no use. Additionally, just
building website won't bring your business what you need.
Without doing SEO and positioning high in web crawler, you
will never have the capacity to find the business or your
potential customers.
Find out if the team you are hiring has knowledge of SEO
friendly web design or not. A few companies (like we at
Seasia Infotech) also provide content writing services which
are an added advantage for you. They provide you content
as per your requirement & design layout and you don’t need
to hire other companies for making adjustments to content
as per the site design.
While developing a website, it is necessary to keep in mind
the aspects of SEO to rank higher in search engines which
will result in higher traffic to your website.

11. 7. Will my website be mobile friendly?
A responsive website is a site which can be seen on all
gadgets like desktop, mobile, tablets, and so on. Google has
affirmed that more searches are found on mobile as
compared to desktop. After Google Mobile-Friendly
Algorithm, Google has been giving priority to those websites
which are mobile friendly. Find whether the team you are
going to hire is very much aware of this update and request
them to make your site mobile friendly.

12. 8. Will I have the capacity to make
improvements to my site in future?
Once your website is built, you may need to update it in
future. To do that, you must be familiar with your website and
should be agreeable to make update yourself. Some of the
design teams prepare you or your staffs and enable you to
make future updates through CMS but, the remaining does
not enable you to do as such. They just enable the changes
to be made by themselves with an extra charge. So, you
have to discover the approach of your potential web design
organization on this.

13. 9. Will you completely custom design my
site or utilize the customized theme?
Above all, you have to know the difference between the
custom and the customized theme. In a custom-built site,
each pixel and format is constructed by the firm itself and
you get the website absolutely hand-coded by the
qualified engineers of the firm. It will be unique and you
will be the only person supporting it on the web.
Though, the customized theme can be utilized by
anybody. It is affordable as you have both the free and
premium options of the theme. Numerous website design
firms utilize customized themes to develop a site which is
less demanding, quicker and affordable way. Ask your
design firm how they will build your site and tell them your
interests as well.

14. 10. Can you provide your client
references?
Experiencing the customer references is an ideal
approach to know how proficient your potential web
development and design organization is. Approach your
web design organization for references or you can also
check them on the web. If the organization is well reputed
and been in the business for long-time, you will surely get
the customer reviews somewhere. See how happy their
old or existing customers are with their results and
services.
above mentioned 10 questions You Must Ask While
Hiring a Web Design Company, you are definitely going
to find the best web design company and will maintain a
strategic distance from the major pitfalls which is the
main reason of the failure of many projects. Try not to be
very quick in finding the website design organization, take
as much time as is needed. Pour all inquiries that you
have to the potential website design firm and after you
