You probably already know what a powerful marketing tool a website can be. From small non-profits wanting to increase their membership and solicit donations to large e-commerce websites wanted to promote their products, a well thought out and executed design and marketing plan will result in a high return on investment.

Starting the process of finding the right company to build a website for your company can be a daunting task. There are so many to choose from. How are you supposed to know which one is the best and which one will meet the needs of your business?

Before contacting a web designer there are few questions you should ask yourself so you will be better able to answer their questions and have a better understanding of what you are looking for.

Here are some questions to keep in mind:

• Who is your target audience?
• How does your target audience locate your website?
• What do you want visitors to do on your website?
• Do you want to be able to update your website yourself or do you want to hire a web designer for the updates?
• When would you like to have your website up and running?
• What are your goals for the website and how to you plan on tracking them?

When looking for a web design company there are a few things you should look for:

• The portfolio. Does the company’s portfolio demonstrate quality designs? Are the websites easy to use?
• Has the company worked on projects similar to what you are looking for? If you would like a content management system, has this company built a content management system before?
• Does the company have a limit on the amount of revisions they do for the design? How long will they fix any bugs for after the site is up and running?
• Are they responsive? When you contact them how long does it take for them to return your call or email?
• Is the company willing to work with you to market the website?

After researching a few companies you will be in a better decision to decide which company will meet your needs. In the end you will be happy to find a company who not only has met your goals but has exceeded them.
