Are you looking for a reliable web design company in Nigeria to design a website for your business or organization?
This is something that requires a lot of dedicated effort and commitment.
Unfortunately most business owners do not see it that way.
The result?
They
end up redesigning the company website over and over again. After a
while they conclude that web design companies in Nigeria or simply web
designers generally are not reliable.
However, this is not
necessarily so. Agreed, there are so many bad eggs and incompetent folks
parading themselves as web designers or some can even go to the extent
of calling themselves a web design company.
It is important to
note that due diligent search will help you identify the truly
professional ones and sieve them out from the rest.
So here are a few tips that will aid you in identifying a great website design company;
Web design Portfolio
Do they have a track record of past projects? If they do, ask for the evidence.
To
confirm that the websites were actually built by the web design
company, check the footer of the websites they say they created for a
mention of their name e.g. "web design by Bleep Web Design Company".
Almost every web designer I know adds this footer.
Web design Pricing
If a web designer charges ridiculously low like NGN20,000 or so, please run, else you will end up with a substandard website.
This
is not to advocate for higher prices for web designers, but to inform
you that any web design company that really wants to offer you quality
service will not accept such fee because it may not even be enough to
buy a good and dependable hosting space and domain name, not to talk of
service charges.
Ignore this advice at your own peril!!!
Level of Web design knowledge
Are they just web designers or web developers/programmers?
Ask if the web design company have competent staff with knowledge of web programming which is different from web design.
It is always better to patronize web developers with knowledge of PHP or ASPX programming language.
This
is because they have a more in-depth knowledge and this will help them
bring your ideas to life on the web no matter how crazy they are.
But a designer with mere HTML knowledge would not be able to do that.
Search engine optimization (SEO)
Does the web design company have staff with good knowledge of search engine optimization?
Don't forget the aim of every business person is to have his website seen and indexed by Google.
What is the use of having a website that no one visits?
Through
your conversation with them, you will easily know this. If they don't
even mention about basic onsite SEO for your website, do not patronize
them, simple!
Experience
Only patronize web design companies in Nigeria with enough experience.
This
helps you avoid having your website designed by amateurs who will only
end up using your website as a learning experience and of course, it
will always come out amateur looking.
In conclusion, follow these
simple advices above and you will be able to differentiate the amateur
road-side web designers from really competent professional web design
companies in Nigeria
