As we speak, or should I say type, there are over 250 Web Design companies alone trading in the Nottingham areas. So how can you be sure that you are choosing the right web design company? Here are a few things to look out for when looking for Web Design in Nottingham.

Firstly, take a look at where the company are based. Do they have an office that you can visit?

Secondly, if they do Web Design, what does their site look like and most importantly do they have a portfolio with their most recent job on?

Most web design companies in Nottinghamshire also offer a service called Search Engine Optimisation which is the process of making your website rank naturally in the search engines and depending upon the skills the company has determines how good their SEO results are. Take a look on Google.co.uk typing in what they do and the area they are based within. For example if the company is based in Mansfield then search for “Web Design Mansfield”. If they are on page one then you can tell from that alone that they do actually have the capabilities and can offer you a good search engine optimisation service. This is not always crucial but it is a good indication that the company in question knows what they are doing.

Ask for a list of their previous jobs and even ask if they do not mind you calling a few of their existing web design clients to get some testimonials. Every web design company should have a number of long standing clients and companies whom they have done work for in the past and be glad for you to call them for some feedback. As many say, you are only as good as your last job!!!

When you have spoken to a number of Nottingham web design companies and obtained several quotes its time to compare them all. As a web design company in Mansfield and Nottingham we prefer to use WordPress for content management and Cubecart for eCommerce. Other companies who offer website design may use other platforms such as Joomla/Mambo, Easy CMS and phpNuke for content management and Actinic, CS Cart, Magento or X Cart. All platforms have their own strengths and weaknesses and all web design companies specialise in what they think is the best platform to use. Be sure to look into what platforms they intend to use and do your research to ensure that its the right option for your website.
