Every business needs a website, but all require them for different reasons.
Talking to a few web designers in Birmingham about your goals is wise. They firstly should be able to tell you which website platform is best for you (popular ones would be Joomla, WordPress, Wix).

Knowing why you need a website is step 1 and an important step.
This is quite a difficult question, since there are a number of things to consider:
If you are a well established company, using an agency is wise, as they would have the experience and resources you require. If you are a new company, maybe a freelancer or small web company is best if you are on a budget.
Another thing to consider when talking to a few website design agencies in website hosting. Many agencies do have website servers and encourage customers to host their websites. For this they will charge a monthly hosting fee.
This is good for them, as it ties you in, plus they get a monthly fee for doing nothing. However it may not be in your best interests.
There are lots of website hosting companies in the UK, so we advise you comparing a few quotes. Website hosting ranges from £5,00 per month up to around £50 for a dedicated server.
Your website content is the most important part of your website, so care needs to be given as to what is created.
Many companies leave the agency to create the content, which is fine as most can do this or use a website copywriter.
However no-one knows your business like you do. You know your products/services better than anyone and have the passion that goes with it.
If you are involved in creating the website content (or at least the framework) for the designer to work around, this should result in a clearer and more passionate message.
As any web designer in Birmingham would advise, your website is your shop window and it needs to stand out to your customers. The danger is that your website blends into all the others and does not stand out.
