Do You Have A Website Brief?

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

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

For businesses in and around Ipswich, it is much easier working with a designer that is local rather than having to travel hours over to Manchester or Bristol to meet with the design team. 

It is always good to meet with them to make sure that you get the best value from them.

However since COVID has caused face to face meetings to stop, a ZOOM meeting has become more acceptable.

Communication is always better face to face, and through working with a local designer a quick trip down the road should only take half a morning.

Industry experience is also something to be considered when selecting someone.

If they know your industry and have designed ones in the past similar to your market, then chances are they will produce the right ‘type’ that will look right for your market sector.

Remember Your Marketing

Once your website is live on the internet (or a web re-designed), the hard work then starts, as you need to get people to your website.

The search engines have thousands of websites in Ipswich to rank, and you will go right to the bottom of the search results for your search terms or keywords.

In the short term, advertising is advised, also known as pay per click marketing.  This is done via advertising platforms such as Google Adwords.

In the long term, getting organic visitors is needed, rather than advertising online.  This is called website optimisation or SEO for short, which can take a long time.

There are hundreds of SEO companies in Ipswich that can help with this, since most web designers do not offer SEO.  SEO is very much an unknown, since the search engines do not reveal how they rank and list all websites in Ipswich.

This is called digital marketing, and also includes social media marketing.  Not all web designers in Ipswich offer digital marketing, so you may require quotes for digital marketing support.

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.

Costs For Your Website

Typically larger web agencies charge more, on the grounds that they have more resources and a larger team to pay. 

It is good to shop around and compare the market to get a feel for website design prices, so as to make sure that you get the best deal.

Ipswich At A Glance

Considered to be one of England’s oldest towns, its history extends back before the Anglo Saxons, due to its costal position and consequent strategic importance against European invaders, such as Vikings and Germans.

Much of the town has been modernised, but leaving intact remnants of the medieval and Tudor town structures.  Over the years, Ipswich has seen growth and decline through its industry playing host to British Sugar, BT and other prominent brands that came and left the town.

Today it has had investment to spruce itself up to become a more modern town making it a growing town for tourism, and the boating and marine commercial sectors.
