Choosing a web designer is really very simple. The first thing to determine is whether or not the designer knows about retail marketing, and then secondly, have they designed sites for shops in the past? If so, then they are the ones to talk to.
Retail companies normally need on-line shops, commonly referred to as e-commerce sites. They allow secure on-line payments through payment gateways (such as Worldpay or Sage) and organise the shipping of products.
If possible, it is best to meet up with the designer. There are thousands around the UK, many of whom profess to be ‘award winning’ and cost effective. Some use ‘virtual offices’, so confirming that they are what they claim to be, can only really be done by visiting them to form a clear impression.
A meeting also gives a opportunity to command 100% of their concentration. Rather than the situation of someone who answers e-mails on their i-phone while at home, and thus giving much more value for money.
Once you have met a few agencies with retail experience and chatted to them, it would be good to get a few references. Your design is important, so it is wise to ask for some assurances to ensure that you get the very best designer for your business.

Choosing a marketing company to design your website can be a challenge, as there are so many web designers in the UK to choose from.

All web agencies set their own rates based on their size, the more staff they have, the larger their offices and the more directors, the higher their costs will be.
Web design prices do vary from agency to agency, generally freelancers charge less, but may not be experienced in designing e-commerce websites. Larger designers may have the skills, but charge higher prices; so compare quotes to avoid overpaying.
