Choosing the Right Website Designer for Your Next Project

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

Reputation - Has this company been recommended to you by a reliable source? Ask friends and co-workers for recommendations on a website 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 websites to show.

Results - Look at their portfolio to see examples of websites 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 website 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 website. Know your budget and shop around to see what website 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 website designers take months to finish jobs with little explanation to their clients. If your website 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 website design job so you should not settle for anything but the best!

 

Portland Website Design Packages & Pricing

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

All of our website 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 website 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, website videos, drop down menus, interactive forms, and much more. We offer many additional services in addition to website design such as data-entry and website changes and maintenance for an hourly rate.

SEO and Website Design

Every single website 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 website among the search engines and 2) prepare your website for a monthly search engine optimization package with AP Marketing & Design.

Most website 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 website 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.
