There were many other ways to market a company, for example through Face to face meetings with prospects or clients, Networking groups, sending out emails or postcards to advertise your business. But with the ever-changing global landscape, it has become a necessity to have a good, functional, responsive and user-friendly website. And with so many choices of web design agency, it is tricky to select the right one for your company.

Here are the 5 most significant things to look for when working with a web design agency.

1. 1.Finding the right fit : The most essential factor to consider when hiring a web design company is to see if they are the right fit for your project.

1. 3. Ask for previous work or portfolio :When working with a web development team always make sure that they can provide you with work experience or at least a portfolio to view before you hand over your project and hard-earned money to them.
