Any company can say they have great designs but we believe a companys portfolio should speak for itself. To adequately judge a website you must look at:
Quality of Design
Ease of Use
Initial Impressions
How sites compare to others in the same industry
Consistent look throughout each the entire website
Navigation is located at the top or left side of the website
Technical Expertise
This aspect is much harder to judge unless you are familiar with web technologies. However, this can be just as important as a good design. A few things to look for and ask when looking for a web design company are:
Do their sites load quickly?
Does the company put an emphasis on Search Engine Optimization?
Does the company use templates?
Does the company test on Mac and PC?
Does the company have a testing environment and backups?
Does the company host their own sites or use an outside company?
Attention to Details
Sometimes the smallest things can make the difference. Look for:
Page titles each page should be unique and descriptive
Terms of Use page make sure it is present
Copyright statement on every page
Use of contact forms rather than published email addresses
