Do you have a website brief to send to a few web designers in Taunton? 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 Taunton.
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.
Most of the web design companies in Taunton are smaller design studios, and therefore can offer a very tailored and personalised service.
If your business is larger, there are some advantages in using a local agency, even if they are small or work at home, as they can pop over and visit. A zoom meeting is also an option, as COVID makes face to face meetings dangerous.
Companies that are hundreds of miles away may not work as hard, as there is not the accountability that there comes with a local designer whose local reputation is precious.
As there are so many web designers in Somerset to choose from, it does make sense in selecting one that has produced sites for similar businesses in the past, as they should be better at converting web traffic.
Have you thought about what web platform you want to use?
Platforms like WordPress and Joomla are popular, but website agencies in Taunton should be able to advise.
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 Taunton 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 a number of SEO companies in Somerset 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 Taunton 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.
As most of the companies around the area are smaller/freelance, their pricing should be less than a larger agency in a main city, as their overheads and rates will be so much less.
However it is worth shopping around as all are in business for profit (as one would expect running a business).
Web design prices do vary considerably, so it is worth shopping around.
It has over a thousand years of history, varied across the military, religion (Celtic and Christian) and farming. The area is peppered with Bronze Age and Roman settlements giving it a rich archeological road-map.
Due to the seclusion of Taunton lying right next to the Exmore National Park, it has a strong military presence both in terms of the army, and technology companies working as defense contractors (Thales etc.).
Industry is limited in the town, although the council are trying to encourage more diversity.
