Do You Have A Website Brief?

Did you have a website design brief to send to website design agencies in Lincolnshire to look at, this should give them an idea of what kind of website you want (or need).

All web designers in Lincolnshire need a starting point, if anything to know what colours you want to go with, or sending some examples of websites that you like the look of.

How many pages did you want (or need), and what about adding new website content?

Here are a few points to consider including in the website brief:

  • 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?
  • Which web platform should you choose?
  • Who would create the website content?
  • Did you want videos on the website?
  • What about hosting?
  • What about marketing?

There are of course lots of other things to consider, since websites can range in price from £500 to £50,000 depending on a wide range of factors.  The main one being, how long it takes to create the website and what features you want, if it is built on a standard web platform or whether it is built from scratch as a custom design.

Local Web Design Specialists In Lincolnshire

We always advise where possible to work with a local designer; as meetings play an important roll in the early stages of any marketing campaign.  

As your website is your shop window, it is essential to have at least 1 meeting with your chosen designer.

Most of the larger website designers are in Lincoln, but there are lots scattered around Lincolnshire.

Choosing Someone Local

There are hundreds of web design companies in Lincolnshire and all will face the issue of ‘who do I choose?’

Lincolnshire is a large place, but finding someone local is always advised, so that regular meetings can be arranged.  The closer you work with a designer, the better the site you will get (value for money).  

Meeting them also gives you the chance to ‘check them over’ to ensure that they are what they claim on their website, and not working out of a bedroom somewhere in Spain.

Choosing a web design agency also needs the factor of experience to be considered.  As there are hundreds of them around, choosing one who knows your industry is wise.  

If you are a defense company, there is no logic in talking to a designer who specialises in producing golf club websites.

Another factor to consider when selecting someone is the size of the studio.  

If you are a start-up company, then a basic website from a freelancer may be more appropriate than working with a designer who works with global companies.  The resulting site may be great, but priced way too high.

Many companies are also considering flash websites, which give a more animated look to a site; however these can slow a website down when loading.

Only some designers are skilled at producing great flash sites.

Remember Your Marketing

The biggest challenge for any website owner is the stage after the website is launched, getting website visitors, in particular the right website visitors, your potential customers. Setting up a marketing strategy is important, over a 3 month and a 6 month period, something that many web designers in Devon would advise.

This is known as digital marketing, also known as internet advertising.

There are tens of thousands of websites in Lincolnshire, so being on page 1 of the search engines is essential.  However if you are in a crowded market, being 1 of the 10 websites on page 1 for your search terms is going to be a real challenge.

The main thing you want to do is to optimise your existing websites for the following search engines:

  • Yahoo
  • Bing
  • Google
  • Ask
  • DuckDuckGo
  • AOL

These are the main search engines in the UK, Google is the most popular, since it is the default search engine for most smartphones and desktop computers.

SEO or website optimisation is very much an unknown, as each of the search engines mentioned above have their own formula (known as an algorithm) to rank all the websites in Lincolnshire.  Few web designers in Lincolnshire know how to do SEO, which is split into two areas:

  • Onsite SEO – How your website is built, the quality of the content, your videos, your page titles etc.
  • Offsite SEO – How popular your website is, how many other website link to yours.

This is the best guess, as mentioned, the search engines do not reveal how they rank each website.  Choosing an SEO expert can be a challenge, since most SEO companies are working based on best guesswork.

PPC advertising is very popular with both startups and global brands, as it is a quick way to circumvent SEO and get onto page 1.

Social media marketing is an important part of digital marketing, as social media website have million of users in the UK (billions globally).

Have you considered using a social media influencer to support your brand, they can market you to their millions of followers.  In fact since the lockdown periods of 2020, many people have started a full time career as a social media influencer

Compare Website Design Prices In Lincolnshire

The cost factor is very much an issue for many companies during times of recession.  Since all website designers in Lincolnshire set their own fees, there is the need to shop around and compare web design pricing.

Generally the larger they are the more their fees will be.  They have higher profit margins, more staff (probably with higher wages), more facilities, larger offices and more directors.

A freelancer who has a small office set up at home will have lower costs, but may be able to design a similar one.

There are no standard rates; all set their own fees, so shopping around is wise to get a feel for average rates.

A Few Words About Lincolnshire

This county is in the east of England, covering 2,687 square miles, and playing host to a population of just over a million people.

It is the second largest county in England (the first being Yorkshire) and is mainly agricultural, the main cities being Lincoln, Scunthorpe and Grimsby.  It was referred to in the Domesday Book of 1068 as ‘Lindsey’.

These days much of the county is given over to agriculture.  In times gone by it was known for fabric and clothing manufacture, automotive and tank production (during the war years) and heavy industry, engineering and turbine production.

In February 2008, it was the centre of an earthquake measuring between 4.7 and 5.3 on the Richter scale.  

Although it is not known for its earthquakes, this was one of the largest to have hit Britain in recent years.
