Do You Have A Website Brief?

Do you have a website brief to send to a few web designers in Hampshire?  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 Hampshire.

Giving agencies a start point, as to what kind of website you want or need, here are a few things to consider:

  • Which web platform should you choose?
  • Who would create the website content?
  • Did you want videos on the website?
  • What about hosting?
  • Did you know the colour scheme?
  • What websites have you seen that you like?
  • What particular features did you need, such as a payment gateway?
  • How many pages did you want/need?
  • Did you have a budget to keep to?

There are of course going to be lots of other things to consider, but this should get you started.

Selecting From Local Web Design Experts

Being based in Hampshire there is certainly a wide choice of creative companies to select from.  All have different skills, different experience and different resources available.

Many offer ‘free hosting’ with their offer; this can save time and hassle in sorting out hosting facilities, capacities and costs, although hosting is normally fairly inexpensive.

Care needs to be taken in choosing a web designer. Although Hampshire has good transport roots (M4, M3, A3) using one that is within striking distance is always better than one at the other end of the county.  

Another consideration is the experience and background that the design agency has. Do they have clients on their books that are similar to yours?

Do they know much about your industry and the way your industry works?  

As there are hundreds of website designers in Hampshire to choose from, it is worth talking to a few that know their way around your market place.

Marketing Is The Next Challenge

Once your website is created, 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 Hampshire 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 Hampshire 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 just as many SEO companies in Hampshire, but SEO is very much an unknown.  

There is no rule book when it comes to SEO, since the search engines do not reveal how they list the tens of thousands of websites there are in Hampshire.

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.

Compare Prices From Web Design Agencies In Hampshire

As there are so many web design companies in Hampshire, prices will range considerably.   From budget costs up to high end costs from agencies that work with blue chip companies.

There is the need therefore to shop around and get an idea of what kind of site you can have designed that fallls into your budget.  Setting a ceiling on your budget is important as costs can escalate quickly.
