Are you a business or individual looking for website design in Leeds? Read on to find out what to look for, what to avoid and what to think of when choosing a website design company to promote you online.
Why should I get a website for my business
If you have a business, you have tried to promote it around Leeds using various means: leaflet, banners, etc. However have you ever thought of being online? When you think about it, what do you do when you want to find something you need? More often than not, a lot of us look on the Internet to find the products and services we need. It's probably what your customers do too. With the rise of the likes of Twitter and Facebook, it has become a second nature for most of us. Having a website is a must in order to maximise the potential of your business.
You will probably find that your competitors have an established website and for that reason are taking customers away from you. Having a website also allows you to get information and promotions to customers. Selling products using an online store is also a cost effective thing to do. For these reasons most businesses have a website and often have a website design company to advise them.
What to think about when designing a website
Who is the target of the website? That's one of the important questions you should ask yourself when starting to develop a website. You should also do your homework and study competitors' websites. Make notes of the features you like and don't like. This will help you visualise your perfect website and will make the design process easier.
Determine what your budget is
There are different levels of website design standards and you generally get what you pay for. Factors that change cost are things like content management system (CMS) or e-commerce functionalities. CMS allows you to change the content without technical knowledge and from any computer. There are also static web pages, which often cost less but you cannot change the content without technical knowledge or asking a web developer to do it for you.
One important thing is your logo. Web companies offer logo design as part of a package but they will be happy to incorporate your existing logo in a new website.
How can I find a website design company in Leeds
There are website designer available in Leeds. Go to your favourite search engine, type "website design Leeds" and you will have lots of results. My advice would be to contact a few of them and ask what packages they offer and for what cost. You will then have an average price for the type of web design you need. Also check the web designer's previous work; you'll have an idea of the standards of work they produce.
Some web designers will presume you don't know anything about website design. They will think they can charge you and that you'll happily pay. If you do your homework first you'll have a strong base and will know what to ask.
