7 steps to determine the best suited web development company for your business

Creating a website for your business has almost become mandatory nowadays. With the whole nation going digital in a heavy way, to be in business, counter the competitors and reach the customers effectively, your digital presence is utmost essential. Understanding the market, web development technologies have developed to a great extent and the service has become quite widespread. Now there are number of companies who are offering the service of web designing and development. However, for a common person, it is quite difficult to determine with which company you should go ahead. Follow these seven simple steps to determine the best suited company for you.

1. Ask for the sample work- Whenever you contact or you are contacted by a web development company, ask them to show you their sample works, especially done for the companies that are in same business as of yours. Check how many sites are live and what is the hit count of the websites. A good web development company will readily provide you with not only the sample works but also their performance data.

2. Market feedback- Once you are satisfied with their samples, it is time to move ahead. Do a small study on the market feedback of the company. You can check out for the reviews on the company in internet. Also take a look at the client list of the company. Most of the time it is available in that companies website. See if you can connect to anyone of them for feedback.

3. Discuss your requirements- Once you are satisfied with the market feedback, talk to the company directly. Tell them your requirements. Ask them for suggestions. Also make sure that they create the website in such a way that you can later change the content yourself. Otherwise, you will have to visit them every time you need a change and that will be a recurring cost on you.

4. Content- Check out if the same company provides you the service of writing content for your website as well. It is always advisable that the content and web design should be done by the same agency as there lies a higher syncronization which lead to hassle-free development and also cost-effective to some extent.

5. Cost- Actually many people think that it is better to talk about the cost first and then proceed with the technical discussion. However, to actually calculate the cost, they first need to know of your requirement and what kind of website you want, how many pages, what is the amount of content and graphics are required. Therefore calculating cost afterhand will give you a more perfect picture of the figures that you are required to shell out. Also keep a keen eye to check if there is any hidden charges.

6. After support- Always check out their after support deals and policies. You are going to need them often. So while making your budget and finalizing the company for you, take after support into consideration.

7. SEO- It is definitely not over, once you are done with the website. You need to rank higher in the search engine to get maximum hits and therefore more penetration to the market. Check out if that same company provides you the service of SEO as well or not. It is better if one company handles all the aspects of your online presence.
