Do you have a website brief to send to a few web designers in Inverness? 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 Inverness.
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.
It surely makes sense working with a designer who is local rather than one based in another area of Scotland, England or even overseas.
Due to the significant number of creative companies in the area, choosing somebody local is a good idea, as a meeting can be made without too much difficulty.
Meeting up with a designer is always a good idea, as it gives a chance to chat through ideas, website layout and also to explain strategies.
The key to successful website design is not just producing a pretty layout, but creating one that causes visitors to react.
Another consideration is choosing a web designer that has designed websites for your industry in the past, so they will know which designs work well and which designs do not.
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 Inverness 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 Inverness 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 30 SEO companies in Inverness, 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.
As all web design companies in Inverness are different, all will charge different rates for the same website. It is wise to shop around and compare quotes, certainly during recent times of recession.
All are private companies, in business to make profit. So shopping around for web design prices is therefore very important to avoid overspending, but also to receive advice for the best style of design.
