Did you have a website design brief to send to website design agencies in Derby to look at, this should give them an idea of what kind of website you want (or need).
All web designers in Derby 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:
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.
Choosing a web design company in Surrey is important.
There are thousands of competent agencies in London that can help, but they are likely to charge more than the local website designers, as they have higher overheads.
For businesses that are based in the county, the main benefit in dealing with a local company is that a visit to the agencies offices is relatively straight forward.
Meeting them, meeting their team and talking through ideas face to face can bring many benefits. There is always the added loyalty that comes with having a personal relationship.
Having met face to face there is a trust, rather than working via e-mail, and that which comes with working together locally. A meeting also gives the chance to check that they are legitimate.
You never know these days, as companies can claim to be whatever they like and wherever they like.
It is reassuring to know that they are based in registered offices, and not working from a bedroom somewhere. They are in the UK, and not working from some far flung country with a virtual office.
Another important consideration is to choose a web designer in Surrey that has experience in your industry. If they have designed websites that are similar to yours, then chances are they will design a website that is more effective and will fit in more to your sector.
For example, if you are a property company, why would you choose a company that specialises in football websites? Many do focus on vertical markets, in order to stand out as unique, rather than handling websites of any sort.
One final suggestion is choosing someone that is the right size.
If yours is a new company then it may suffice to choose a freelancer to set you up with a cheap website. If you are a global company, selecting a larger design agency who has more resources and can design large e-commerce websites or sites for global businesses.
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 Surrey would advise.

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 Surrey. Few web designers in Surrey know how to do SEO, which is split into two areas:
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.
As there are hundreds of web agencies in Surrey to choose from, costs will vary massively. Generally the larger they are, the more they will charge, as they have higher overheads than a freelancer.
Comparing quotes is part and parcel of our society. All are in business to make profit and to grow their companies; so shopping around is essential. For this reason, comparing web design prices is essential.
Finding the cheapest one will not make it the best.
