You do not have a website and you want to have a website or you have a website and you want to renew it. Then you should find a web design agency or firm and get this service. There are many companies or infrastructure providers in this field in Turkey. So how can you find the company where you will get the right web design service? In this article, after you decide to have your website built, we will share our experience and suggestions with you so that you can make the right decision in choosing a web design company.
What is a Web Design Firm or Agency? What Does It Do?
Organizations that produce and design websites, provide content management software and provide updates and technical support on these issues are called web design firms or web design agencies. It is very important to have a professional website and then to get the service of a professional, experienced agency in order to get efficiency from this website. There are many inexperienced companies in the market waiting to waste your money and time. We recommend that you stay away from these companies and listen to our recommendations for choosing the right web design company.
When you want to get a service, you first search for it on Google and you get offers and information from the results until you get results. Those who want to re-build the website or for the first time often search on Google. Let’s just say this here: When you want to get web design service, it is not a right choice for this service to enter the url in the results you see and go to the contact section without looking at any other details, and getting information by e-mail or phone. So what should you do?
Review Company’s References
You will have a new website built and you will start a critical journey with this website. Your website will be your hands and feet; such that a person will first come face to face with your website before reaching you. In this case, your website is of vital importance for your potential customers. Your website becomes a determining factor when your visitor makes decisions such as whether to reach you or not to receive an offer. Therefore, visit the references – customers page of the company that you will entrust your website to. And click on the references to examine them in detail. After all, your website will be among these references in the future… Do not contact companies whose style you do not like or which have scattered, outdated technology examples and eliminate them directly…
Check if the Firm Is Corporate
You will not only get the web design service until your website is live. Do not forget that there is a technical support and update process after your website goes live. Therefore, do not depend on one person. Be sure to observe that the agency you will work with has a team of experts, and that it can provide professional service with new people even if the team decreases.
Experience Is Very Important
It is very important that the company to which you will entrust your website is experienced and has done a lot of work. Therefore, review the corporate or about us page of the company you are considering getting service from. Find out how many years it has been serving in this sector and how many projects it has produced. If this information is not clear on the company’s website, you can reach this information by making a request by phone or e-mail.
Using the Latest Technology
If you are going to have your website built today, your website should be in accordance with today’s technological conditions. Therefore, when making your website, make sure that it has features such as mobile compatibility, up-to-date SEO infrastructure, SSL certificate.
What is a Mobile Compatible Website?
Mobile compatibility, in short, is the design feature of a website that adapts itself to the relevant screen when visited from a computer, tablet or smartphone. In other words, websites that can be viewed and read perfectly regardless of the screen are called mobile-friendly. Mobile compatibility, which we have mentioned a lot in our other blog topics, is also a very important criterion in terms of SEO.
Current SEO Infrastructure
Being mobile friendly and having an SSL certificate is very important for SEO. In addition, your website url should also be SEO compatible. For example, domain.com/page.php?id=9 is not a correct url structure; In terms of SEO, the correct url structure should be created as domainname.com/kurumsal or domain.com/web-tasarim-ajansi. When choosing a web design company, you can see how they use these URLs from the references of the relevant company, and you can eliminate those who use them incorrectly. Let’s also mention that your content is very important when it comes to SEO. Of course, this is about you, but if your content is strong and you have received a good web design service, it is certain that you will be successful in SEO.
Technical support
It is very important for the success of your website that you can get technical support after the publication of your website. Therefore, before choosing the company that will prepare your website, you should have information about the technical support service of the relevant company. You should definitely ask the companies that you are going to bid on this subject. It may not be a good solution to get support only in writing, ie e-mail or ticket-ticket system. In our opinion, having a customer representative that you can reach both by e-mail and by phone is very important for the success and efficiency of your website.
Especially in the early days of your website, you may have difficulties and need support while adding content to your website. It is very useful for your website infrastructure provider to assist you in such matters. In addition, you should be able to ask questions and get referrals on topics that are important for your website, such as SEO, social media.
You Can Also Evaluate Ready-made Websites or Designs According to Your Budget
You do not need to get a special web design service to have a website and attract visitors. If your budget is not enough for a special work website, you can also use ready-made website solutions. Ready-made websites can offer very reasonable pricing for custom work. If the right infrastructure and SEO criteria are provided, it is possible to reach many new users with ready-made site solutions. Here again, it is important to note that getting technical support is an important detail. Whether you use a custom or ready-made website solution, it is very important to get fast support for your website.
Pricing
Apart from the features offered for the website here, you should also evaluate the opportunities you have after the publication of your website. You should know that it is very important to get good and fast technical support for your website and that the prices of agencies that provide good service in this regard may be higher than others.
Hosting
If you do not have a server of your own, you will receive this service from the relevant web design agency. It is very important for you to work with an agency that has quality, fast and Turkey-based servers. Therefore, before starting the web design service, it is a plus for you to know in which datacenter and location the servers of the relevant company are. In addition, you can observe the speed of the work done by the company’s reference websites.
The location of the company you work for is not an important criterion
When choosing the company that you will receive web design service from, do not worry that it is located in the same city as you! Today’s internet and technology age… You can perform all your transactions on the phone or digitally. Therefore, it is not necessary to find an software company that provides service in istanbul or lisbon for your company located in istanbul or lisbon.
As an İstanbul and Lisbon-based company, we can state that 50% of the customers we serve today are in other cities. And as a final word, let me say that this rate is increasing every year.
