It makes good sense to use someone local. Web design companies in Buxton make meetings easy.
Meeting with a designer is always good. As it gives a chance to talk over designs in depth, as opposed to passing e-mails to and fro. Baring in mind COVID has changed the opportunity to meet, a ZOOM meeting may be another option.

Do they know much about your industry?
Have they designed websites for companies like yours in the past?
All industries have their own flavour, so it is wise to select an agency that knows a bit about your market. There are hundreds of web designers in Derbyshire, so if one is not found locally, there are lots of others not too far away.
