Web Design Firm vs. just a Web Designer?

untitled-1Generally web design firms will cost more than just a one person web design company. This is for good reason and if you can afford it you should choose a design firm over just a single designer, here’s why: With a web design firm you have many experts that collaborate together to better guarantee the perfectly crafted website. No one individual can possibly master all aspects of website design, and remember a good looking is useless if it’s not functional and coded properly for search engine optimization.

With a web design company you have many people simultaneously working on your website, example:

  • The graphic designers make it look great
  • The marketing staff makes sure the branding is top notch
  • The copywriters make sure your content sounds great and has the proper keyword density to rank well in search engine results
  • Search engine optimization specialists(SEOs) code in compliant semantic markup
  • Programmers make sure that any dynamic functionality is working as it should
  • Database administrators (DBAs) design and optimize your databases for performance – if applicable
  • Multimedia Flash engineers create the perfect jaw-dropping Flash animations
  • Web developers code in XHTML 1.0 Strict format so as to be cross-browser and W3C compliant
  • And finally web hosting technicians make sure your site goes live on the right type of web server as required by your projected traffic load

If you were to go with a single web designer they would need to do all of the above themselves; and as the old saying goes “no one person is good at everything.”
