Manchester Web Design

Manchester Web Design

Manchester is an exciting city, with several universities, a large population and of course two football teams. It serves as the capital of the North West of England and is well connected with both the national rail and motorway networks.

Due to its large population and strong business base, there are a numerous web design companies in and around the Manchester area. 

Here is a checklist of things to look out for when you are selecting a web design agency to work with.

How long have they been in business? Always avoid a new startup if you can as more than 80% of web design companies cease trading within their first year. You need to be able to get hold of your designer and your domain name, which won't be easy if they are not around.

Look for a well established firm

How many staff do they have? One man bands have their place, but if anything happens or plans change then it is not going to be easy to get hold of them, if they are busy they can't do two things at once.

Web design is a separate skill from coding, and ideally you need to deal with a team who has both skill sets available, web designers to create a wonderful looking design and coders to built reliable script that has the functionality you need.

Testimonials - Always ask to speak to existing customers, there is nothing like a personal recommendation from happy customers, if these are not available then that should be a warning sign of potential issues.  Also search on the internet to see if there are reviews of the service, good reviews can easily be faked, but why fake bad ones?

Local presence - it is always good to deal with someone who has lived in the Manchester area and has at least a local presence making it easy to meet and discuss.
