Did you know that businesses with modern, professional websites are likelier to appear credible and attract customers than those without?
A website increases your brand credibility and allows clients worldwide to interact with you and develop expectations regarding your business.
Thus, it provides you with the gateway to make that first impression. In my experience, it is vital to carefully select a web design company based on how best it can actualize your vision for your website.
To select the best web design company in Kenya, I suggest you take the following steps:
1. Set the Goals and Functionalities of your Website
As a business owner, you must consider your potential customers and the outcomes you expect after having the website. For instance, do you want an e-commerce website that allows you to sell multiple products or a personal website to sell a personalized brand?
Such questions can help guide you in identifying the needs of the website.
If you want an e-commerce website, you would need functions such as payment integration, stock and order management systems, and digital marketing.
You should also ensure it is user-friendly, easy to navigate, SEO-optimized, and results in a great user experience.
Such considerations can help you avoid blindly developing a website unsuitable for your needs.
2. Research Web Design Companies in Kenya
You can start by getting referrals from friends and associates regarding the most reputable web design companies near you.
Alternatively, you can do online research to identify those with a reputation and track record for remarkable web designs, development, search engine optimization (SEO), and digital marketing.
In addition, you can review their history, service listings and delivery, various client testimonials, and the general feel of their websites.
Checking Google reviews and whether they have professionally established social media pages can give you insights into that agency’s credibility and reputation in the market.
3. Create a List of Desirable Web Designers
You’ve gone through the websites and profiles of multiple web developers. Now it’s time to list 3-5 companies that you feel can offer the best services.
At this point, you can check their previous work and portfolio variability. Their portfolio should showcase the websites the company has done in the past as proof of its outstanding work.
By contrast, portfolio variability demonstrates that the company has done multiple websites in multiple industries. Such a portfolio indicates that they have experience developing websites across numerous industries.
4. Have a Budget and Timeline
Before approaching a web development company that you feel can best meet your needs, think about your budget and your set deadline to have the website online.
For instance, if you want an e-commerce website, how much will it cost and can you afford it given your set timelines? Such questions can help you negotiate prices and choose a web design company that meets your budgetary expectations.
5. Approach and Select One
After having your list of potential web designers, budget, and timelines, it’s time to approach them. You want a web designer who listens to your ideas and seeks to make your vision a reality.
A top-notch web design company listens to you first and suggests recommendations that align with your vision, budget, and timelines.
It respects that you are more knowledgeable about your business and understand what is best for it to grow.
Its role is to guide and help you actualize your dream. You become an integral part of the team. Once a web developer meets this criteria, you can choose to work with them.
