  • "Working with the team at Digi Tech has been nothing short of amazing! Over the years, we've collaborated with an array of different agencies and it's been a mix bag for sure. A lot of times, agencies want to have all the creative control, tell you what to do, and really minimize your creative input. But with the crew at Digi Tech it was the polar opposite. They really respected and appreciated our input and trusted us implicitly with their client and the creative direction we wanted to go with the video production. They were involved in the process to provide guidance and support to make sure we're all headed in the right direction but they were never over-bearing. It's been a fantastic experience and we're all looking forward to collaborating together and creating great content and results for our clients."
  • "Great company with incredible results. I can't recommend Darryl and his team enough. Their web design services are beyond compare."
  • "Darryl and team have been such an asset to our organization. I work with Darryl multiple times throughout the week and he shows each and every time that he sees us as a priority client. Outside of that, the work that Digitech has provided us has opened up so many doors in creating business growth opportunities because of their knowledge of our field. Most other companies I have worked with in the past require a lot of micromanagement and education to get what I needed done. Digitech doesn't. They come through every single time without having to be asked to work harder or change strategy. That what I need in a vendor"

Why is a great web design important?

If you’re questioning the importance of solid web design, look no further. We’ve found that 48% of Internet users consider web design the number one factor in determining the credibility of a business. That means that if your website is lacking a great design, nearly half of your visitors have the potential to navigate away from your site because they believe that it lacks credibility and legitimacy.

Now that you’re convinced that web design is one of the keys to a successful online business, it’s time to choose your agency – and you can’t go wrong with any of the ones on our list.



Choosing the best web design company for you

It’s not easy to pick a web design agency as a partner when you’re looking to improve your business’s site. It takes a lot of research and patience, and it’s critical that you contact a potential partner and speak to them before you set up any kind of contract. With these design firms, you can at least find a good starting point on your search for a web design partner.

Before you contact your potential web design partner, you should also be sure to do your research prior.


Dive into their portfolio

You should also be sure to check out the company’s portfolio. This will allow you to see exactly what the web designers’ styles are, and might even give you inspiration for your own website! Do you like their style of work? Does their work look to meet the standards you have in place? These are all questions that you should ask yourself when studying the agency’s portfolio.

Some web designers only work with certain sized business. For example, some may consider themselves perfect for small businesses and unable to take on enterprise-sized businesses. Some may only prefer to work with enterprise-sized businesses. Be sure to do this research ahead of time to further confirm that they are a good fit for you.


Do a thorough search of their website

Start by visiting their website. When you do so, you’ll be able to get a feel for their company culture, their style, and how they feel about and serve their clients. Make sure you look at numerous areas of their site – like their about me section, their company culture section, and especially their testimonials.

Hearing what other clients have to say about the agency will help you make your own decision, and may shed light on things that help to make your decision easier.


Don’t forget about location

Take time to also be aware of where they’re located. If speaking in-person is important to you, and sharing your ideas on paper, face-to-face is a game-changer, be sure to find a web designer that is located within traveling distance to avoid excessive over-the-phone communication.

Some companies prefer phone and email communication, while others would rather meet in person. Regardless of what you prefer, make sure the web design agency that you’re looking for fits the bill in terms of location.


Consider budget

You should also research the company in relation to your budget, and if they’re an affordable option. There’s nothing worse than finding a company that has designs that you love but are just too far out of your price range. Budget is a big deal and something that you should always research before deciding on a web design company.


What makes a web designer great?

If you’ve never worked with a web designer before, you may wonder what characteristics make them great. Here are a few characteristics of a fantastic web designer – these are just a few of the top qualities that a web designer should possess!



Strong background

The best web designers in the world will have a strong web design background, and understand everything from color schemes to graphic design. While anyone can “design” a website, years of experience are necessary for an agency to truly excel at web design.

Communicative

The best web designers know how to communicate their ideas so that others can understand them. Often times, when you have a vision in your head, it’s hard to communicate that exact vision to others. But the best web designers know just how to do so.

Take criticism

Critiques are hard to hear, but the best web designers know that critiques are what make them so great. They won’t get discouraged with your criticism, but instead, they’ll look at it as a way to grow and learn.

Accessible

Truly fantastic web designers will take the time out of their day to answer any and all questions you may have about the design (or redesign) of your website. A personal touch is required when it comes to design, after all!

FAQ About Finding a Web Design Company

There are a few common questions that are typically asked of people who are deciding on a web design company. Here are a few, along with their answers.

How much should my website cost?

Every web design company is different – they offer different services, accomplish goals in different ways, outsource their business, or keep it in-house. The cost of your website depends on a few things. How the company you hire works – do they charge you hourly, monthly, or for the whole project? Is there one specialist that is working on your website or five? These are things that you have to consider when calculating how much a website will potentially cost.

Some other factors include what your site needs – is it being built from the ground up, or are you adding to an already-existing website? A website that is being built from the ground up will cost more, because it will take more time and effort to create. Is your website going to be on a platform like WordPress, or be completely made of HTML code? These are all important variables that go into determining just how much your website will cost.

Even still – different companies will charge different rates for their services, so it’s difficult to put an exact price tag on how much a website will cost.

However – a ballpark range for how much a website will cost you is anywhere from $500 to $15,000 and beyond depending on level of customization, length of project, etc.

How will my website attract customers after it is built from scratch?

A common question asked among business owners is how traffic will begin to flow to their newly designed website – and it’s a good question to ask. In order to get your website found online, you’ll need to start a search engine optimization campaign, or SEO campaign. Without one, it’s unlikely that your website will rank highly in search engines, and will therefore, not drive high amounts of traffic to your business online.

SEO is a combination of techniques that are used to improve your websites rankings in search engines, and likewise, be found easily online. Some SEO strategies include keyword research, content creation, and creating an easy-to-use website, so it truly goes hand-in-hand with web design.

If you’re looking for more info on SEO and how it works, check out our list of the Best SEO Companies available to business owners like yourself!

How long will my website take to create?

Creating the perfect website for your business includes a lot of steps. The design company will first have to understand in detail, your goals and visions for the project. They’ll then have to do research, propose wire frames, revise wire frames, build out and develop the website, and of course make final modifications.

With all these steps included, most websites take at least 12 to 16 weeks from start to finish. However, time may be slightly longer or shorter depending on your goals, your designer, and other variables.

Web Design and your business

Web design in general is a complex and constantly-changing industry. It’s hard to narrow down the exact best agencies in the world, but we evaluated as many as we could to determine this list.

Finding the right web design agency for your business is imperative to your company’s online success. Whether you sell products or generate leads, a high-quality, high-functioning website will give you the power you need to earn more revenue.

Google and other search engines love high-quality websites, especially those that provide excellent user experiences. That’s why so many web design agencies shoot to create user-friendly sites — it’ll make both Google and customers happy!

That’s the foundation of every web design agency’s philosophy. Contact the agencies that catch your attention on this list and see what they have to say about web design, especially when it comes to basic principles.

The best web design agencies care about your company in every way

Ideally, a great web design agency will be focused on results, user experience, and your budget. They’ll consider what they can do and what you can afford so you can get a website that generates revenue for your company — even if you don’t have the cash for a high-end design.

The best web design agencies also worry about the site’s performance and maintenance over time. Every user experience on your site should be positive, seamless, and easy, and if it’s not, the agency you choose should take the time to fix it. You should always be their priority!

Your web design agency should also have open lines of communication with you and your team to ensure that you always know exactly what’s going on with your web design. They should be able to answer any questions you may have, and fix any small issues in a matter of hours.

Take your time and find the best fit for your business

With all of this in mind, take your time to determine which web design agency on this list is the best fit for your specific needs. Nobody knows your business better than you do, after all!
