It is very beneficial to use the marketing services of your website design company, because they can ensure from the very beginning your website will meeting your ultimate marketing goals.

At Total Web Company we specialize in customized website designs that work and function according to your business needs. We offer affordable options for any budget!

Can you provide examples of other websites your company developed? Use the web design company’s portfolio to see if their past work fits the mood and style of the website you’d like to see for your own business. While you’re scrolling, note the speed of these websites, functionality, user experience and styles. During your own web design consultation, make sure to ask questions about functions and layout so you know exactly why it was done in a certain way and if it can be altered for your needs.

How will you manage my project? Ask who and how many people will be in charge of your website project from consultation to launch. Be sure to get names and contact information as well as a timeline for project completion and reports.

How long will it take to finish & launch my site? The full completion of a website design depends on the scope of the project. A 5 page website will have a quicker turnaround time than a 35 page website, but your web designer should be able to give you a ballpark idea based on similar projects they’ve completed.
