Why Hire a Web Design and Development Agency?
Your website is an investment and an asset. Just like how regular software updates to your phone keep it running smoothly, websites also require regular maintenance and updates. Hiring an agency can help you balance form and function, ensuring that your website gets the proper maintenance and optimisations needed to run smoothly and securely.
Suppose you want to build a simple website — all you need is information pages with contact information. In this case, a drag and drop website builder will do just fine. However, with every new design or functional element you add on, the back end code gets heavier. Over time, without proper optimisation, this can lead to serious performance issues such as slow load times, page errors and gaps in security.
Some may recommend hiring a web agency based overseas for cheaper costs. In cases of emergencies such as a website form not working or a hacked website, time is of the essence for debugging and restoring your website. If you are looking to work with an overseas agency, do remember to take time zones into account as this may affect their response time. On the other hand, hiring a Singapore agency often means that it is faster and easier to make updates and changes.
Not all web design agencies in Singapore are created equal. Some are one-stop-shops, some may specialise more in website development, and some are better at creative designs and animating your ideas. Always check out their website— if they can’t maintain their own, perhaps you should not entrust yours to them. A good agency should also set realistic expectations for you and attainable targets for themselves.
If you need more push for consideration, think about hiring a web design agency if…
- you do not have the budget to hire and sustain an in-house developer
- your website is not mobile friendly and SEO friendly
- it’s been a few years since you last updated the website design and layout
- you have not set up your site’s analytics or are not using an analytics tool.
- your website is not regularly updated to counter cybersecurity risks
- you see your website as a long-term investment that can convert visitors.
