Top 3 Questions to Ask Your Graphic Design Agency

When choosing a graphic design agency for a web design project, here are the top 3 questions you should ask:

1- What is your knowledge on SEO?
ANY good web designer should have basic knowledge of search engine optimization, if they don’t offer optimization services themselves.  If you don’t feel comfortable with the answers you get – walk away as fast as you can!  If a designer doesn’t understand how search engines work, then chances are you won’t get a search engine friendly website and that can hurt you in the long run.

2- What do you know about social networking?
Staying on top of online marketing trends and technologies is their job!  If they can’t offer services or help with this, then you may want to look elsewhere.

3- Do you offer other services other than web design?
If you are happy with your designer, it’s a lot easier to deal with multiple avenues of your marketing journey with one company than trying to create the wheel all over again each time you need a new piece created.

So what are you waiting for? Ask us and we’ll tell you.
