Choosing the Right Web Site Designer for Your Next Project

If you want your Web Site design project to be a positive experience, it is important to look for the following in your Portland Web Site design company:

Reputation - Has this company been recommended to you by a reliable source? Ask friends and co-workers for recommendations on a Web Site designer. If they had a pleasant experience with a certain company they will generally let you know. Also look at their client testimonials and references and make sure they come from legitimate companies that have Web Sites to show.

Results - Look at their portfolio to see examples of Web Sites they have created in the past. Are they well-built and easy to navigate? Are the sites unique or do they seem to follow a cookie-cutter template? You want to make sure that your Web Site designer is capable of creating different looks and styles because you do not want to have a site designed that looks like every other site out there.

Price - You can pay anywhere from a few hundred to thousands of dollars for a Web Site. Know your budget and shop around to see what Web Site design companies are offering. Some companies have set prices while other companies, like AP Marketing & Design, create custom quotes based on specifications provided by our clients.

Turn-around Time - Make sure you know up front how long your project should take. A countless number of Web Site designers take months to finish jobs with little explanation to their clients. If your Web Site design company seems hesitant to give you an estimated completion date, walk away while you can! It could be months before you get your final product and that equals a loss in time and potential customers!

Remember that this is YOUR Web Site design job so you should not settle for anything but the best!

 

Portland Web Site Design Packages & Pricing

At AP Marketing & Design we offer a wide range of Web Site design services. No two businesses are alike so why should you be limited to having the same Web Site features as everybody else? All of our Web Site design options are customizable depending on the needs of you or your company. Our web designers are capable of creating all kinds of Web Sites from simple html Web Sites to Javascript flash, PHP, Perl, and MySQL. Our designers can create simplistic one page Web Sites or database-driven e-commerce Web Sites with hundreds of products - no job is too small or too large for our skilled team of Web Site designers.

All of our Web Site design packages contain the basics: a simple navigation system, site map, contact and information request forms, various stock photos, and basic search engine optimization implemented into the design. Each Web Site can then be customized with a variety of elements including (but not limited to): shopping carts and credit card processing systems, Content Management Systems, Javascript flash intros and page banners, Javascript photo slide shows, Web Site videos, drop down menus, interactive forms, and much more.

SEO and Web Site Design

Every single Web Site design project we do comes standard with basic elements of search engine optimization. This includes (but is not always limited to): adding keyword-rich meta tags and page descriptions, alt image tags, page titles, appropriate anchor text, and various other elements to either 1) promote your Web Site among the search engines and 2) prepare your Web Site for a monthly search engine optimization package with AP Marketing & Design.

Most Web Site designers know little or nothing about search engine marketing. They can design beautiful sites but these are sites that rarely get traffic. It is important to hire a web design company that specializes in search engine marketing because this will save you time and money down the line. Having a Web Site designed with basic SEO elements will automatically give your site a boost against the competition and allows your business to expand its valuable web presence.
