What are the highlights to consider when choosing a website building company? In the following guide, we will comprehensively go over the many topics that should be emphasized in the hope that after reading the article you will be able to choose the best company for your product, service or business.
What are the characteristics for choosing a website building company?
year of establishment
Open up, let's start with the stock of characteristics for choosing a website building company. First and foremost, as we are present in most businesses, the survival of the company must be taken into account. The company's survival is a derivative of seniority and experience in the market combined with an early establishment year to test the company's long-term strength. Let's take for example the DigitalST company that boasts the oldest founding year , and was founded in 2005 by Or Schwartz.
In order to check the seniority of the company, you can look at the domain details by doing a simple Whois search (on sites for example who.is) and see the domain details and its registration details. In the domain details you will find out the owner of the domain, how many times a month and when it was registered for the first time. These details will allow you to measure the company's seniority in the market and when it was founded.
Note that many companies buy second-hand domains and thereby try to accumulate artificial seniority. You can see the renewal of the domain and the transfer of ownership in the Whois details of the domain and thereby locate the exact year of establishment.
portfolio
One of the most important parameters and also the parameter that we see in our website statistics (views on the portfolio page) is the client portfolio or alternatively the portfolio of works of the chosen company. In order to examine the company's portfolio, we will go through several parameters:
unique designs:
It should be noted that there is a wide variety of designs in the company's portfolio and it does not rely on one template or a limited number of templates in order to save costs. In the age of AI, many of the designs come from analytical graphics that do not include human creativity that is usually included in professional website design.
Symmetry and aesthetics:
Go through the small details on the client's website and check if everything is in place, if the menu is uniform and if the aesthetics are visible even with a second look at the website. We can say that our customers sometimes also check us at the level of the smallest pixel.
Compatible with phones:
In recent years it is no longer a surprise that the site should be comprehensively tested on mobile phones – Check the customer websites also on your mobile phone to see how they are displayed on mobile. It is recommended to check the site also on tablets - on Apple and Android devices at the same time.
edge technologies
After reviewing the two important parameters of seniority and portfolio, we will come to an equally important parameter that talks about the edge technologies presented by the business. Every time we set up a website and carry out a project, we will take into account that it is an investment for a period of between 5 and 10 years in which we pour a budget for our virtual marketing. As time progresses, so does technology, so it should be noted that the developing company uses the latest edge technologies. For example the W3c standard is used as a quality standard in terms of the development of the visual source code (Frond End code) and the most elite companies adopt this standard in order to provide a competitive advantage to their customers.
Also, additional technologies that we will recommend when building the website are the use of Google-readable elements such as HTML5 and CSS3, which allow the execution of designs and animations that use the website code in order to also give the search engine an ideaWhat happens on the page from the point of view of the surfer browsing the site – This parameter is very important in marketing after the project is launched.
Marketing after the site is up
So after we have chosen a company according to the parameters required to build the website, we would also like to choose a provider that allows a marketing envelope after the website goes live. The selected supplier will have to present an expanded portfolio and achievements in Internet marketing and proven results in Google's organic promotion.
price versus quality – The final parameter
So after reviewing all the key characteristics for the quality of the company, we will review the price parameter. You can often find a correlation between price and quality, but you should review all the services we discussed in this guide to make sure that the price for the site is not high in relation to the product received. It should be noted that freelancers and companies will charge different prices and the range sometimes ranges from tens to hundreds of percent of the price.
