It’s unfortunate, but there are some Calgary web designers out there who aren’t quite up to par with the latest tools, techniques, and best practices in the industry. But, that isn’t something they’re going to announce when they market your company or submit a proposal.
That means it’s up to you to do your homework and read between the lines. To make that a little bit easier, here are five things the worst Calgary web design companies never tell you:
1. They don’t care what your business is. When companies are in the business of selling websites, and not actual Internet marketing improvement, your advantages or objectives aren’t as important as selling you a slick design and moving on to the next project.
2. Your flashy website won’t help you sell anything. Of course, we live in an age where lots of companies have great business websites (including a few of your competitors). But, if they aren’t customized and supportive of your overall business goals, they aren’t going to help you much in the real world.
3. That your new site was made from a template. Although a lot of Calgary web designers advertise custom layouts and page creation, the reality is that many use widely available templates and just plug in a few pieces of content to make them look different. That’s not a great value for your money.
4. They aren’t doing all (or much) of the work themselves. Besides working with the same templates as everyone else, a lot of Calgary web design companies actually send coding, programming, and design work overseas to low-cost vendors who do work for your site on their behalf.
5. They’ll be gone when you really need them. Naturally, none of these is a great way to stay in business, so you can’t be surprised when your unknown Calgary web design company disappears at the first sign of a problem with your website.
