Qualities of a Superior Web Design Company in Dubai

Qualities of a Superior Web Design Company in Dubai

As web designs are becoming an important part of the communication and marketing industry. All businesses are focusing more on their websites. Websites can easily make or break your online marketing strategies. Having almost all of the Dubai citizens with internet access and smartphones, the importance of a professional web design even escalated further. A web design is the visual and functional layout of a website that represents a company or business in the online domain. The user experience on the website will determine the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. This is why the number of web design companies in Dubai have risen exponentially. Businesses often get confused when it comes to selecting a reliable business partner for their website design and development needs. In this blog, we will enlist the traits of a superior web design company in Dubai which will help you select a web designing and development firm to fulfil your business’s online needs.

Step 1. Company Profile

Company Profile

Check for the company profile. Check the website, their About page, team information, brochures, etc. How appealing their company profile is? How professional does it look? Since how long they are operating in Dubai? These things will be the first step to shortlist web design companies in Dubai. For any web design agency, it is very important to have professional designing skills, although most of the web design companies in Dubai prefer to have a corporate look and feel rather a design-intensive look, it is important that their website’s functionalities and interaction are excellent. All the information required has to be available with easy access. And some other things like that. Once the list of shortlisted web design companies in Dubai is prepared then move to the next step.

Step 2. Company Portfolio

Company Portfolio

Now the next and most important step is to check the company portfolio. Who are their clients? Do they have well-known brands in their portfolio? Do they have any work samples? Are their work samples match the live websites of their customers? These things are important to consider. Explore their work, check the designs and try to understand the level of their professional skills and web designing capabilities. Specifically look for the design themes, if they are using a similar theme for all of their customers or do they have a diversity and design rich portfolio? These things will help you understand the professional level of the web design company.

Step 3. Contact the Company

Contact the Company

The next step is to contact the web design companies you have screened out from the first two steps. You can easily find their contact details on the home page, or bottom of the page or at the contact page. The best way is to send them an email and wait for their response. If any web design company don’t respond or respond too late, then simply drop them. If a company is so lazy to respond to its sales enquiries how would they go to respond to the support requests and other matters? So, leave them. Once you got a response, arrange a call. During the call ask them specifically about their past projects, their partners, their team and location. Although in Dubai the location doesn’t matter a lot closer is better. If a company says that their technical team is not in UAE or is located outside of the UAE, then leave them. Dealing with off-shore teams could be tricky.

Step 4. Arrange a Kick Start Meeting or Requirement Gathering Meeting

Arrange a Kick Start Meeting or Requirement Gathering Meeting

The next step is to arrange a meeting with the web design company team. Most of the companies at this stage request a presentation as well, so let them do their presentation too. Don’t be strict at this stage, let them present themselves. Clearly define your objectives and goals of the website and let them propose a solution. Answer as many questions as possible and also ask them as many questions as you can. At this stage you can also request them to provide you with the followings:

  1. Project Execution Process: A good web design agency always have a defined web design and development process and project execution methodology. Which has been refined over the years and could really help a smooth project execution.
  2. Sitemap, Navigational Structure: Ask them if they provide a sitemap, wireframe, and complete website navigational structure before starting the actual designing process. A professional web design company always provide these details before starting the actual designing work.
  3. Design Mockup, UX/UI and Revisions: Do they offer design, UX/UI mockups and revisions? How many design revisions can be done without impacting the commercials of the agreement? These things are important, as a top-notch web design company in Dubai always provide at least 3 mockups and offer at least 5 to 8 revisions without any additional quote/cost.
  4. Development Plan and Time Table: The website development plan and time table are also important as it is a testament to a professional project execution approach.
  5. UAT and Training: Ask them if they provide a UAT (user acceptance test) and training of the CMS or content management system? A top-notch web design company in Dubai always provide include UAT in their project plan and also offer training sessions for the CMS.

This information should be collected at this point in time. Once everything is in place then you should move to the next phase of the scrutiny.

Step 5. Request for Quotation and Contracts

Request for Quotation and Contracts

Once the above stages are done, by now you would have left with only a handful of web design companies. Request them for the quotation and the contract. Compare the quotations and contracts and try to evaluate the best among them. Then compare the price. It is important to have a clearly defined project scope, project time table and delivery date. Also ask them to comply with your policies and terms, especially the data protection and safety policies and the payment terms. From this step to the next, only those companies should be moved who are willing to fully comply with your policies and terms. Of course, a negotiation at this phase will help you too.

Step 6. Work Samples

Work Samples

Ask them to provide you with the work samples. The work samples will help you understand their capabilities and the level of their skills. Only rate those web design companies who have the most diverse portfolio with different types of designs.

Contact their Customers

Ask then to provide you with the contact details of their past customers and try to contact them, at least request them to provide you with the details of three customers. It is better to write them an email or you can also call them as well. Once getting their feedback move to the next step.

Industry Experience

It is important to know how experienced they are in your industry. They may have experience in different industries but if they don’t have any experience in your particular industry then the chances of something could go wrong are way too high.

Step 7. Other Services

Other Services

Check what other services they are providing. How strong a portfolio they have in other services and how many well-known customers they have in those services. Whether those services are relevant to you or not? How many other relevant services they are offering is very important, for example in the case of web design service if a company is offering website designing and development services along with digital marketing, corporate profile creation, search engine optimization (SEO), graphics designing services and digital advertisements services. You might not need any of these services now but in future, you could require any of those services. It will be a lot easier for you to ask an existing supplier for another service rather than doing the procurement process again.

Website Maintenance (AMC), SLA and Hosting

Website maintenance services are also important. You should ask the web design company to provide an AMC agreement and SLA (Service Level Agreement) along with their quotes. This will particularly help you in managing the website and all its relevant products/services from a single vendor. Another important thing is the hosting service, it is always better to keep all the relevant and dependent services together with one supplier or service provider. It makes the management simple, no worry for contract or service renewals at different times, and above all, it saves a lot of costs too.

Step 8: Listen to your Heart

Listen to your Heart

Nobody knows your business better than you. Follow the above steps, make sure you got at least three web design companies till the last step. Rate them, judge them and weigh them. Then listen to your heart. If you are not satisfied with any company then simply don’t take risk of going forward with them. There has to be a strong bond on the bases of trust between a customer and a service provider, if you are not feeling comfortable in going with any company then don’t go for it. Listed to your heart.

Things to know before website design of an eCommerce business

Things-to-know-before-website-design-of-an-eCommerce-business

It is well known that online businesses are at a boom. In fact, most retail purchases are happening online. And this is mainly because of all the growing eCommerce websites and how easy it has become to develop them. This being said, one needs to be aware of the following points before you get into the website design for an eCommerce website.

The right platform and design – Before one starts the creation of the e-commerce website one needs to plan what kind of platform is needed. There are several content management systems like Joomla, Magento, WordPress and so on. Magento has been known to be specifically made for eCommerce use. Also when you do the web design Dubai you need to ensure that the design is simple and clean without too much graphics or clutter. The theme also needs to be decided – whether it is to be preselected or custom. Obviously that would probably depend on the budget as premade ones would be cheaper as compared to custom ones. The website design Dubai also needs to be responsive so that it can be viewed on multiple operating systems and platforms.

Secure website – These days there are lots of websites being created and also being hacked into. Hence, security is one very important detail that one needs to consider before doing a Dubai web design. One needs to get an SSL certificate which also gives authentication so that customers are also aware of their safety while making purchases.

eCommerce plugins

eCommerce plugins – If WordPress is used by the best web design company in Dubai in creating the eCommerce website then there are various eCommerce plugins like Shopify, WooCommerce, Shopp and so on.

SEO brings in organic traffic – One needs to optimize the website pages so that potential customers would first see your website before those of competitors. Keyword research needs to be done to find out what potential audience would commonly use. These keywords also need to be updated regularly. Good meta descriptions, page titles help in ranking too.

When one creates a web design Dubai for an eCommerce website, there are some additional features which can make it more effective and successful –

The site speed is extremely important. If a site is not fast enough, customers would not return back to the site. Also, some customers do not like the idea of registering with a site. Many just like to guest shop at least till they start liking the site and feel comfortable with it. Hence, the customer’s transaction process needs to be made fast with guest checkout options. There also needs to be a site search function which lets users search for what they are looking for. The web design Dubai needs to be mobile optimized as most people use their phones and tabs for surfing and shopping.

By incorporating all the above points and considering them before you even start web design Dubai for an eCommerce website, customers would be able to navigate very easily and purchase whatever they are looking for. The convenience of use will also bring in repeated sales and visits.

Website for Branding

Do you know the face of your brand? Do you know that your brand not only represents your company but also its values and what is dear to it? It is your brand that keeps you apart from others and it is your website that gives you the chance to share it with others. This is why website design is an absolute must, so that you can make sure that whatever you are offering is represented accurately. Your company needs to bring out the right message.

Website-for-Branding

Having a solid visual brand

Being a company, you probably already have a brand identity. But is it something that your customers would remember? Your customers need to be able to remember your vision, value and your brand history. This can be shown through your website’s visual features and components. Hence you need to ensure that your web design Dubai not only supplements your brand but also puts across the right kind of message which would be received and memorized by your audience. Thus you need to hire the right kind of web design Dubai Company that can incorporate the right kind of principles in the web designing.

Importance of your logo

Your company logo might be just a part of the brand; however it is a big part of it. It needs to stand out, be of high quality and be such that customers would recognize it right away. Customers need to associate it with your brand and company. When someone opens your website, your logo should be such that their eyes get attracted to it. Good and solid Dubai web design would ensure that this happens.

Right and qualitative images

If you go with the best web design company Dubai, they would make sure that the images chosen on your website are genuine and associated with your company. Stock images would be avoided totally. They anyway look clichéd and fake. You need images that put across the brand sentiments and company messages. Creation of photos that are your own gives your brand more meaning and harmony. For example, shots of customer’s interactions or your team pictures would be more meaningful than any generic pictures.

Core message Focus

A good web designer would ensure that not only does he/she give a lot of information, call to actions or images on your site; but they would also ensure that your company’s core message is put across. The aesthetics of the website are important – but not as important as the key message. It needs to be put across in the best possible way. That can be done only with simple designs and fonts. Your brand and consistency needs to be shown on the website which is more important than the aesthetics.

Call to action

Calls to action on each page need to be highlighted. This can alone bring in a great number of leads. However, this needs to be simple and free from clutter. Your web designer needs to use shapes, fonts and colors which would match the brand and at the same time attract the eye.

Competitors – Your brand is different and has nothing to do with your competitor. Similarly, it would be wrong to copy your competitor’s style or website. It could actually harm your brand. You need to build your own website which shows your identity and face of your brand. A reputed web design Dubai Company would ensure that your design is fresh and speaks of your company and brand.

The importance of your company’s website can never be underestimated. It helps in bringing in customers and eventually loyal clients of your brand. Thus, your web design needs to bring out your key values and messages which attracts customers and connects with them on an emotional level.
