Brilliant website design is not just about the way a web site looks and navigates. The big successful web sites are built by leading website design agencies who understand the Internet.

Before deciding which website design agency should develop or redevelop your web site, you should arm yourself with a few facts about what makes for brilliant web site design. Prepared with this basic knowledge, when talking to other web site designers, you can pose these questions.

We design fully integrated custom websites using XHTML/CSS, graphics, mercurial content management, multimedia, shopping carts, Ecommerce, partitioned content management, logo design, database programming for websites and desk top applications, in fact you name it, we have a specialist designer or programmer that is skilled in that department.

• Can you develop a web site that will gain top ten ranking on Google for the key phrases I want?
  If the website designer starts to waffle about websites and search engines, when all you require is a straight yes or no, find another designer. If he or she says yes - ask

• What techniques and procedures do you use to ensure a website gets into the top ten of Google?
  The developer should explain about the importance of content, page layout, putting the site live with hundreds of inbound links, stacking and clustering the web pages in the right order, and explain what this means in plain, understandable English. They should also mention key words and Meta Tags, but if they put emphasis the importance of these two subjects and just bang away about how important they are, they clearly do not understand search engine optimisation.

• Can you provide some sample searches, where websites you have developed are in the top ten of Google?
  If the developer provides obscure search terms that no one is likely to use, because every web site can be top of Google for an uncompetitive search, don't be fooled. Also look at how many pages Google has indexed for any searches provided. Short two or three word search terms where Google has more than ten million pages indexed are good. Over 100 million is impressive.

• How do you make that the search engines will find the new web site?
  If the developer says they will submit your website to the search engines, they will delay your website being indexed for months. No web site designer does this, if they know their ob, as there are far faster methods. If they also say they will resubmit your website on a regular basis, then you can be sure that you talking to an amateur.

• Where will the new website be hosted?
  You must determine where the website developer plans on hosting your site. If they are using cheap hosting in the States and your market place is the UK, and someone selects to search for pages from the UK, guess what happens. Your website won't be found, that's for sure. You would think this was common sense but you would be amazed at how many UK web site designers are using servers in the States.

• How many websites will be linked to the new web site when it goes live?
  Professional website developers will have the resources to link hundreds of websites to your new site from day one. If a website designer answers none to this question, then how can you expect to get ranked at all or get any traffic to get the ball rolling?

Obviously, we would expect you to ask the basic questions like costs, delivery times and after sales service, but the questions we have provided are actually more important, as they will determine if the web designer is actually capable of designing a website that will return you a profit.

So what do we do that is so much better than other website designers and what makes our web design agency unique.
