DON’T CHOOSE A WEB DESIGN COMPANY UNLESS THEY MEET THESE 5
CRITERIA

The Necessities of a Productive Website

If you are looking for someone to design and develop a website for your business, chances are, you are unfamiliar with web design, search engines, costs and the most efficient ways that your customers can reach your website. The following will help you decide on the best web design company to meet your needs.

DESIGN
No one likes a poorly designed site and if you have one, your potential customers will
remain just that, POTENTIAL! Don’t get caught up in a company that promises excellent
design, but in the end, your nephew could have designed it for you for free.

COPY THAT SELLS OR INFORMS
Words Sell!! Even with a well-designed site, if the text within your site does not sell what
you have to offer, then you’re wasting your time and money on hosting and paying a
designer to design it. Would you rather visit a nicely designed site or a site that provides
you with the necessary information that you are looking for? It's simple- you need both: a
well-designed site and information that can keep your customers coming back.

META TAGS
“I don’t see how a website is going to benefit my company.” You're right! It won’t, unless your site is AVAILABLE for someone to pull it up. Most web design companies don’t put the time into creating special code for your site so that search engines can list your company as a highly ranked site. If your site is ranked highly, your potential clients can actually find YOU and not your competitors. These companies just want to build your site, collect the check and move on to the next client. If you were to buy a billboard advertisement, wouldn’t you want it on the busiest road and easily viewable? Of course!! No one would want their advertisement out in the woods where no one would ever see it.

REASONABLE PRICING
We all work hard for our money and no one likes to be taken advantage of when making purchases. Make sure you choose a company that will not rip you off. Ask for references
and ensure their customers are satisfied with their pricing.

CUSTOMER SERVICE
Everyone likes to be treated like the #1 client, the VIP! Make sure that prospective
companies have 24-hour support. Ensure that they have a privacy policy and that you can
get your money back if you are not satisfied. Choosing a web design company is a very
important decision. Don’t get caught up in the hype of just one or two key elements. They
all have to work together as a simultaneous machine, working for your company. Magnolia Media is exactly the type of web design company that you need to handle of all of your web needs.

>> WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Magnolia Media is amazing. I contacted
them about flash design, and they were able
to take my ideas and turn them into reality.
Magnolia Media's customer service and
turnover time is remarkable. I had the files
I needed within 24 hours of payment! I
highly recommend Magnolia Media to
anyone looking for professional media or
marketing services.

>> Palomar Christian Conference Center

I had been having a lack of response for
updates and creativity in design from my
previous web designer. Since we chose
Magnolia Media, we have received the best
design and best service. They are very
prompt with their site development and I
really enjoyed the one on one meetings
that led to a site designed for our
business.
