Do You Have A Web Design Brief?

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

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.

Choosing Someone Local

For any company, working with a website designer in the Midlands is important rather than one down on the south coast or in London.

Ideally, working with someone local is the ideal, as you can visit them from time to time, plus there is the loyalty that comes with working with a ‘local supplier’, going the extra mile, etc.  

Why talk with web designers in Wolverhampton when there are agencies closer?

Meeting them is always advisable, as many do make claims on their websites that need to be confirmed, working with blue chip companies, pictures of global offices and awards they have won. 

Many claim to be award winning and be the ‘UK’s premium designer’ which is just marketing talk.

Since COVID, meetings are too dangerous, so a ZOOM meeting may be another option.

Selecting someone that has worked in your industry is also good advice.

All have experience of different sorts having worked in different industries, so choosing one who has produced sites that are in a similar market to yours will only add benefit.  They will have a better idea of what will work and what will not.

Chatting through experience can also be done at a meeting, as they can show some of the sites that they have designed in the past.

Compare Prices From Local Web Design Experts In Solihull

All web design agencies in the UK are private firms, and all are in business to make profit; as such shopping around and comparing quotes is very important so as to avoid overpaying someone. 

There are no standard rates when it comes to web design costs, all set their own rates based on their overheads, their running costs/staff costs, their profit margins, etc.

Generally the larger they are, the higher the costs they will have, therefore the more they will charge.

The ideal is to find local web design companies in Solihull who has years of experience in designing cutting edge sites, and can do it for a very reasonable price.

Shopping around and comparing quotes is part of today’s society, whether it is for design, food, cars, houses or anything that can be bought.

Marketing Is The Next Step

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 Solihull 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 the Midlands 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 Taunton.

This is called digital marketing, and also includes social media marketing.  Not all web designers in Solihull 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.

A Few Words about Solihull

It may be found to the south of Birmingham in the West Midlands, and has a population of around a hundred thousand.

It has been an important place since medieval times, as a stopping point for mail coaches going from Birmingham to London.  As the forests were cleared, trading was done in the clearings and the town was built in the cleared areas; many timber buildings remain as a testament to the early architecture. 

The school dates from 1560, so may well be one of the earliest schools in the area.  The church (St Alphege) dates from around the same period and can be seen from miles around due to the high spire of 168 feet.

It was quite a small town right up to 1901 when the population was around 7,500. But in 1960 the population boomed to over 100,000 due to slum clearance in Birmingham, and the development of the Rover car plant. 

The Industrial Revolution, growth of the railways and the ravages of two World Wars passed by  leaving it pretty much unchanged and unaffected. 

The main influence on growth was the Land Rover plant, that has had a great effect on the economy of the area.  With the uncertainty in the automotive sector, the council are worried.
