The problem is that when you do an online search, there are an overwhelming number of hits. How do you weed them down? Here are some suggestions:

First, visit the Which Web Design Company site. WWDC is an independent site that allows website companies to create a comprehensive profile of their company on the site and clients to rate and review their professional services . The firms are then ranked according to an internal system based on factors such as the number of reviews posted, the completeness of the company’s profile, number of views of their profile and rankings of the posted reviews. You can use this site to draw up a shortlist of companies you might be interested in.

Now, it is time to cut down your shortlist. One way you can do that is to look at their past design work. Look at the portfolio of other websites they have done for their clients. Get a feel of what they do and their design work interest you and matches your taste then you put their contact details in the “companies to call” list. Speak to a few of them and see what they can offer you. Always take your time and never pay the deposit until you are 100% certain that they can do a good job for you.
