As you are local, why not talk with website designers in Bedford rather than ones from other parts of the UK?
There are around 30 website designers in Bedford, so talking to a local agency is only logical. There are in addition many branding companies in Bedford that offer web design alongside other marketing services.
If you needed media support for your website, there are some good PR agencies in Bedford you can talk with.
We do advise talking to someone that has experience in your industry sector (whatever that may be, medical, IT, engineering etc.) as the designer will know how to communicate your message to your audience.
Thanks in part to the University Of Bedford, many new creative design companies have started up locally, numbering over 30 around the town.
The majority of web agencies are small to medium in size; larger agencies have grown into full service agencies that offer more marketing services than just creative design.
As a business in Bedford, it makes sense to work with a web design agency that is local, rather than one that is in London, or further away.
Through working with a local web company this allows the opportunity to have meetings easily, to see where they work, how they work and meet the team. Why talk with website designers in Luton when there are ones close to hand? There are also web experts in Milton Keynes to the west.
A face to face meeting will allow much more ‘creative juice’ to flow, and allow the team to brainstorm to create the best and most effective website for your money.
From the many agencies locally, selecting one who knows your market is a wise move. Having a look at the designer’s portfolio should give you a good idea of the sort of businesses they have designed sites for, and just how similar yours are to their market experience.
When talking to web designers in Bedford, there are a few things to consider:
There are many web platforms on the market place (and new ones appear from time to time), platforms such as WordPress, Joomla and Wix are popular, but each platform is best for a certain type of website. Getting advice on which web platform is best to select. Not all web design companies in Bedford design on these platforms, most only design on one or two different platforms.
Who will write the content of each web page, will the design agency, will you?
The best one that knows your business if you, so to have someone else create page content can water down your message. If you give the designer an overview of each page, this should ensure a clearer message than a stranger to your company.
Many web design companies in Bedford offer website hosting, and will encourage you to go with them, as they can charge you a monthly fee. However this may not be best for you, talking to a few web hosting companies is wise advice.
Once your website is produced, you need to get visitors to it.
This is wear the real work begins, the internet is a big place with billions of websites. Depending on your industry it might be a long journey to get your website to where you need it to be.
Some web design agencies in Bedford do offer digital marketing (SEO, paid advertising on search engines), some do not.
Talking to a few internet marketing companies is wise advice, after all, what is the point if a website if no-one visits it?
Using websites such as Twitter (now branded X) or Facebook are free of charge for you to use. You can post updates, pictures, videos of your products or services.
If you are creative, using TikTok may be helpful (again free of charge) if you want to post videos of you dancing, eating dinner, your pet doing tricks. Many brands have grown thanks to silly dances or other creative ways to communicate your message.
Another option is using a social media influencer to promote your products or services. Social media influencers cover a wide range of sectors, such as:
Many people since the COVID lockdowns of 2020 have started a career as a social media influencer.
All web design companies in Bedford are privately owned, all in business to create profits; as such there is the need to shop around and compare website design prices.
With website design, you do not get what you pay for. The most expensive web design company in Bedford does not make them the best.
The cheapest website does not mean the best; but neither does an expensive one necessarily mean high quality. The most telling factor is experience, as already described.

Bedford is the country town of Bedfordshire, originally named after ‘Beda’ who was the Saxon chief at the time of the town being created.
From around 1560 it was known for its production of wool and lace.
The lace industry continued right up to the 20th century.
During recent years the town has become associated with crime, and in particular many murders.
This may be the reason the population is less than 100,000.
