Do you have a website brief to send to a few web designers in Aberdeen? A website brief can be very helpful, both for you and the various designers, if anything it is a starting point.
A website brief is not telling agencies what you want, but it is an outline of what you are looking for.
If anything it saves you having to repeat yourself multiple times when talking to different web design agencies in Aberdeen.
Giving agencies a start point, as to what kind of website you want or need, here are a few things to consider:
There are of course going to be lots of other things to consider, but this should get you started.
As there are so many web design agencies in Scotland to choose from, selecting one that is based in or near to Aberdeen is wise, and logical.
Having a local website designer is always better than one that is based hundreds or even thousands of miles away. There is a loyalty that comes with working with somebody locally, which is not there with someone at the other side of the world.
A website is an investment and therefore needs to be approached with care and planning.
Choosing a website designer that has already worked in your industry will also be helpful. They will have a better idea of what kind of website will work well in your market, yet one which stands out as unique and of interest.
Finding a creative company which is the right size is also important.
If you are a larger company looking for a bespoke website, or e-commerce website, then a larger website design agency would be more appropriate than a freelancer.
If you need a simple or basic website , perhaps because you are a new company and are working to a budget, then a small design agency or freelancer will be fine.
Once your website is launched, this is where the hard work starts, you need to get people to it.
Since your website is your shop window, you need to have lots of people shopping there.
Not all website designers in Aberdeen can help with this, this falls into digital marketing.
This is a two pronged attack, in the short term and long term.
In the short term, you need to quickly get people to your website, this can be done via online advertising (PPC). Some website designers in Liverpool do offer PPC, so it is worth asking. There are many PPC companies around, so we can get you quotes if you would like.
In the long term, SEO is what you need, to get you appearing in the organic search engine results. Since SEO is quite a specialist area of marketing, talking to an expert is wise. There are around 50 SEO companies in Aberdeen, again something we can help you get quotes for.
Social media marketing has become a big part of the mix of SEO, on platforms such as Twitter and TikTok.
Have you considered using a social media influencer, to get you known to their thousands of followers? Many people now have a full time career as a social media influencer.
Going with the cheapest web design agency in Aberdeen is not always the best option, as a cheap website is not always the best one.
No-one begrudges paying a fair price for a fair job. But no-one likes overpaying for something when they could get it 20% or 30% cheaper, just by spending a few minutes comparing web design prices.

Aberdeen is a large city on the north east coast of Scotland, with a population of around two hundred thousand people.
Aberdeen has two universities, the University of Aberdeen which was founded in 1495, and the Robert Gordon University, which opened in 1992. These attract students from all over the world. Aberdeen has won the ‘Britain in Bloom’ competition an amazing record breaking ten times.
There has been a human settlement in Aberdeen for many thousands of years. The town originally started from the merging of two smaller towns, the older town on the mouth of the River Don, and a fishing village where the Denburn waterway enters the River Dee estuary.
During the wars of independence Aberdeen was under English rule so Robert the Bruce laid siege to it in 1308, massacring the English garrison there.
In 1336 Edward III burned the city in an act of revenge, and the new city that was rebuilt was called New Aberdeen.
The flag or emblem of Aberdeen shows three castles; this dates from time of Robert the Bruce – Aberdeen Castle, an unknown building on Windmill Hill, and a church on St Catherine’s Hill now levelled.
It suffered in the 1970’s & 1980’s as the fishing industry declined. So too did the economy around Aberdeen, which was mainly reliant on North Sea fishing.
However as the fishing industry left, North Sea oil was discovered and a new lease of life came to Aberdeen.
