There are many options when it comes to web design. Many websites offer generic templates which can produce relatively simplistic looking designs which make the process of web design relatively simple; however, for the serious, ambitious or expansive business, a generic design simply does not stand out.
As modern business relies heavily on having an online presence, it is in a business’ interests to have a website that appeals to their customer base, helps to create brand awareness and customer engagement.
Local businesses in Bristol may often assume that word-of-mouth is enough to sustain their business for the indefinite future, however, a cursory look at customer trends will tell you that –more often than not- customers are making their buying decisions based on online research rather than wandering around their town to make comparisons. For this reason, it’s imperative that the ambitious business owner –or even one who simply wishes to sustain themselves- creates an online presence for themselves.
This usually involves creating a website, social media presence, and online contact details/booking forms for a business; for some this can be a daunting task. The world of online web design is full of different options; you have the aforementioned generic website templates, professional web design companies, freelance website designers, and much much more, so which avenue is most appropriate for your bricks-and-mortar business in Bristol?
The problem with the large professional design companies is that they often know very little about your company, what you offer, and who your target customers are. These web design companies also often come with a hefty price tag, and may not fundamentally understand what you’re trying to achieve.
Freelancers are a far cheaper option, however, the problems of not understanding your business or the Bristol area are still present.
