We consider that the “Best Web Design Company” in Australia should excel in several key areas;
Design & Development Standard: Agencies or freelancers should be able to showcase a diverse range of exceptional websites designed by their agency. A key part of this is the ability to be diverse and deliver across different industries and based on the business’s individual requirements.
Technical Proficiency: The ability to write in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript across content management systems such as (WordPress, Shopify etc.) advanced features and dynamic visual effects.
User Experience (UX): The ability to deliver a website that prioritises the user’s needs, easy navigation, clear calls to action, and engaging delivery of its content.
Cross-Device Responsiveness: I feel that I shouldn’t have to write this in 2024… but it’s still an area that separates many web design agencies.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO): The implementation of foundational best practices for SEO. Giving every website the best opportunity for ranking and improved site visibility.
Communication, Scope & Process: The ability to communicate effectively, scope projects without project creep (additional costs) and a seamless process throughout the project engagement.
Value for Money: Pricing that correlates to the deliverable standard.
Why don’t I say competitive or cheap web design costs? Websites should vary in price based on the deliverable standard that the agency can deliver to… A small business website can cost $5000 AUD or $20,000 AUD and neither is wrong – but the project delivery should correlate to the investment.
Support & Maintenance: Providing post-launch support to the clients. Ensuring websites remain secure and up-to-date, and continue to perform well.
By excelling across each of these segments (collectively) a web design company can establish itself as one of the best agencies in Australia.
Our final note: all pricing listed, reviews, project listings were obtained where listed – for full breakdowns for the listed agencies, please refer to their agency website or contact them directly.
