Taking the step

Narrowing the Birmingham search

Selecting a Birmingham web design company

So, you have made the decision to invest in a new website, either a brand new online business or an update to your existing website. Ideally you would like to work with someone local to create your online vision; trying to find the best web designer in Birmingham can be time consuming as there are so many web design companies in Birmingham. Remaining local is important and beneficial because you will have more contact with the web design company, whilst also working with a fellow Birmingham local business.

Here’s how you can narrow your search down:

1. Create a website design brief

Create a detailed write up of what you believe your website needs, in terms of logo design, photos, sections, writing, colour schemes, styles, functionality and give examples of competitor websites. You can even include a sketch of how you would like the website design to look. This allows you to easily communicate your requirements to the top Birmingham web design companies and expect a response.

2. Look at Birmingham web design company portfolios

Whilst browsing through different Birmingham website design companies online, it is always best to go straight to their portfolio page – check out what their recent work looks like and who their clients are. Previous clients do not need to be big names, but more so clients that have stylish websites created by the local Birmingham web design company. Here are some of our clients that are based in Birmingham and the surrounding area.

3. What services does the web design company provide?

If you are after more than just a website, check that the companies you are looking at provide other services e.g. domain and hosting, search engine optimisation, branding or design for print. This allows you to employ one company to handle all your needs.

4. Check reviews

See if the web design company you are looking at have customer reviews or Google Reviews or a testimonials page. Just as you would buy a product based on its reviews, it is important to check reviews for service based companies too to see if they do a good job.

Narrowing your Birmingham web design company search can be done by using a search engine such as Google or using citation websites such as Yell , the best of Birmingham and Birmingham Post. Bring up the top 10 and see how they compare. Being local it is easy to visit these companies to get a feel of their work, their ethics and their personality.
