1. Do You Like Their Website Design Ideas / Their Portfolio Of Work?

Firstly searching on the internet for say ‘website designers manchester’, you may come across three website designers sites that you like the look of. Take a look around their website and especially their portfolio, do you like their work? If you do like the look of their work from a visual point of view,  you then know that they are capable of producing a website design that looks the part.

2. Do They Have Examples Of Customers Who Have Had Success Due To Their Website?

All website designers and website design companies will boast about what they can do for your business but the real trick is to focus on their customers success. Speak to some if the customers listed on their portfolio, this will give you a real insight into how the web company treats its customers. If the company says that they can list your business on search engines, find examples of their customers who are doing well on search engines or ask them directly.

3. Arrange A Meeting With The Website Design Company

If you come across a website design company whereby their contact details are hard to find, this may be an indication that they are hiding something. Ask for a meeting with the website design company before you go any further, if they don’t want to meet with you, avoid them at all costs. If you do arrange a meeting, you will then be able to find out about the company and their website designers. Only you can make a judgement about a good website designer but if they are enthusiastic but realistic then you have probably found a good one.

4. Get A Few Quotes

Don’t get one quote and think that if the website is in budget its perfect. Get a number of quotes from different website designers, speak to a number of website designer to find out who you think will do the most for your business. This will give you an idea of different pricing options available to you and also highlight any over chargers.

One important point to make here is that just because one website design company offer website design services cheaper than anyone else doesn’t mean they will be best for your business. You need to make sure that the end result for your business is a website that serves a purpose such as ‘brings you new customers’.  Going for a cheap website usually results in a website being designed with little effort or attention to detail resulting in a website that does not perform for your business. Don’t waste your money, be smart about how you spend it on your website and you will get the most in return.

Example Video:

We recently built a website for Wayne Gorner, a professional pianist based in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Manchester. The website makes superb use of sound clips from sound cloud and videos from Youtube and can be easliy updated by Wayne whenever he records a new piece.

In addition to the website which can be seen at www.pianistforweddings.co.uk we also created business cards, leaflets and a pull up banner to help Wayne market his new venture:

Its really created for advertising on banners or in magazines but can also be used on websites:

The code for our website is:

The value it adds to your website really depends on what type of  services your business offers.

As an example we have used this on a minibus hire website purely because they offer minibus tours and knowing the weather in the UK people would rather book a tour if the weather is good.

Some might say ‘this gives customers an excuse not to make a booking’ but from a website value point of view it provides the customer with more useful information making the web page more valuable to them and therefore making them more likely to visit again.

Here is an example of what the Wideget looks like on a web page:

This Weather Widget is provided by the Met Office

Here is a link to our customers website that is using the weather widget: www.minibus-hire-york.co.uk

The robot.txt tells search engines about the pages that you have on your website. Search engines don’t always pick up on all website pages within websites which is why having a robot.txt file that works is important. Robot.txt files offer search engines a simple way to find all of the pages on your website and then indexes the relevant pages into the Google index.

Please note: having a robot.txt file does not mean that your pages will be indexed, you still need pages that are of value to Google and its users in order to get indexed so don’t for one minute  think its a quick fix for people wanting to get onto the 1st page of Google because it isn’t!
