How can you Find an Awesome Web Design Team?

How can one determine or find the quality of a product, say an iPhone or a wallet, or a BMW? Simple, you just pick it up and inspect the product or the stitching or just take it for a test drive. But, online businesses and products are different.

The last thing you want to do is spend your precious time and money in developing a website that is not only distasteful in design or usability – but really does nothing for your business.
Evaluating web design companies often involves assessing their portfolio, their cost, experience and references.
Here are a few additional tips on how you can find the best web design company – easily.

• 1.      Perform a Local Search: Technology or not, nothing works like the good old local search. Keep an eye open for local establishments belonging to an industry similar to yours. Try tracking their online success and chances are that there is a company who has the magic key to success. You may also find references from friends and family who are running businesses in the same locality as yourself. A casual meet and greet may also put you right in front of a freelance designer or web design company who is actually really good at his or her work.

• 2.      Google Search: “When in doubt, Google!” “Google-ing” as we all put it is evidently the new age mantra. This search engine giant is without doubt one of the most effective resources through which you will be able to find the designer of your dreams. By making relevant online searches you will be able to come across some highly talented web designers and companies that provide effective and affordable design services. Make it a point to go through their portfolio and their reviews that will be easily available through the search engine.

• 3.     Hire on Elance or Odesk: If it is more personalized service that you want, consider logging on to Elance or Odesk to find some freelance web designers and developers. On these portals you can go through thousands of qualified professional profiles and select one that suits your budget and qualification requirement. You can also select professionals based on their feedback rating allowing you to make well informed hiring decisions.

• 4.     Leveraging Craigslist: Craigslist is also a great resource to post job requirements and find other people who are willing to offer to you their design services. With a very well geographically segregated database, it is rather simple to get in touch with designers working in and around your business.

• 5.     Dribble/Smashingmagazin: If you are looking for companies or freelancers who are extremely design focused and your idea needs so much design creativity then go for dribble.com or smashingmagazine.com there you can find bunch of very good web designers free or by spending some dollars.

• 6.        Ask for References: So once you have drilled down the choices and have bunch of companies or designer in hand to work on your project ask them for references. Most web design firms will give you references if you make a request. However, chances are that most of the references they provide will have only good things to say about their business. The key to shortlist those references that have continued working with them for more over a year. This is a good indication that the design firm has been able to positively influence the business.

 Not the least, you can always combine one of more methods of hiring a design company to make sure you have the back-up of reliable references and recommendations from people you know.
