What to Look for in a Web Development Company
By Ad Ventures' Strategic Director, Alex Howard
May 18, 2013
A company's website portfolio may look fantastic, but do the people who created those great-looking websites still work there, or did they ever? It’s a good question to ask.
Not only that, but because individual skill sets vary by large amounts, a web designer may be exceptional with typography, but weak in information organization or layout design; or, well-versed in an older programming language such as Coldfusion, but behind in current Web 2.0 technologies such as HTML 5 and CSS3.
Because there are so many combinations of web skill sets, it is important to work with a web development & design company that can offer “in-house” all the talent and skills that modern, industry-leading websites require. And there should be some skill overlap, so the end result is one cohesive, complimentary team.
Be sure to ask to see the most recent and relevant projects that the company’s current staff worked on. Ask if the company will outsource any of the work (India is an obvious example). This is a common practice, especially for individuals, very small shops and virtual businesses.
Employee movement in the web design industry is generally frequent; movement in web technology advancements is rapid. A good, reputable web company will provide support for its people to stay on top of trends and new technologies. Don’t work with an individual or a company who relies on older trends and technologies. It takes energy and innovation to continually learn and grow, as the internet and technology behind websites is continually evolving. So look for a company who shows a solid commitment to staying on top of the website industry change.
Synchronized design and development
The Ad Ventures web design and development team represents web specialists who have worked together on-site an average of 7 years, and have high level skill sets that cover creative design, graphic production, user-friendly content management, web production, front-end development, back-end development, custom programming, search engine optimization, branding, social media and messaging. Every website featured in the Ad Ventures' portfolio was art-directed and conceptualized by the same creative team who have collaborated together for the past 10 years. All websites created with the most current technology (HTML5 and CSS3), pass with WC3 validation – which means these websites will display properly in the top browsers and will be easy to update.
Same but different
Each Ad Ventures' website project gets a fresh, individualized approach - because every business has its own unique set of challenges.
Regardless of budget, every website that Ad Ventures creates gets the same level of high quality design and development expertise – and the right combination of skill sets.
