Hiring a web design company? Ask these questions first

Hiring a web design company? Ask these questions first

Your web design agency is not just another vendor. Look at your web designers in Toronto as your marketing partners. The website they build for you will help achieve your marketing goals. That’s why it’s important to choose the right team.

To help you out, I share below some important questions you must ask before hiring any agency.

Will I own my website?

This is an important question.
If their answer is vague or if they include a “but” in their answer – “yes, but after a period of…” – stay away.

You should own the following things:

  • Domain name
  • Design and visuals
  • Content

You should have control over the following:

  • CMS
  • Source code

Stay away from companies that offer “free websites”. They are likely to charge hefty access fees. Steer clear of proprietary platforms that will charge you monthly fees. Your website will be yours only until you pay their monthly fees. You can’t even use that website outside of their platform.

Have you worked for businesses like ours in the past?

Ensure your prospective web designers in Toronto have some experience in your industry. At the very least, they should be able to share examples of work they’ve done for other businesses in your industry.

If your designer does not know your industry too well, you will have to do a lot of spoon-feeding. And that’s the last thing you want.

What strategies would you use to generate leads/sales?

The agency you choose should be equally interested in growing your sales/revenue as you are. To that end, they must have an action plan to help realize your marketing goals and sales targets.

This results-oriented plan must align with your goals.

It could be a lead magnet, SEO, custom banners on each page, customized calls to action, custom brand identity, custom design that aligns with your branding guidelines and so on.

How many rounds of revisions do you offer?

Every design project calls for revisions. That is inevitable. However, you must have a clear idea of the number of revisions that are included. Some agencies limit you to 2 to 3 rounds of revisions and some may offer up to 5 rounds.

At Magenta Design, we have complete confidence in our process and the skill of our web designers in Toronto. That’s why we offer unlimited revisions until you’re happy. Once we get to know you and your requirements, we are able to nail the hammer on the head.

Even then, if you’d like some edits, we are happy to accommodate your requests until you are completely happy.

Do you offer a satisfaction guarantee?

This is an important question to ask.

What if you don’t like the work of your agency? How would they resolve this situation to ensure you’re not stuck with something you’re not happy with?

At Magenta Design, we offer a satisfaction guarantee. This means that not only do we offer unlimited revision until you’re satisfied but if after a few rounds we realize that we can’t do justice to your requirements, we will let you know and give you a full refund.
