How do I choose the right Web Design Agency?
Choosing the right web design agency can feel overwhelming—especially when every company promises beautiful designs and great results. But your website is one of your most valuable business assets, so finding an agency that truly understands your goals is essential.
Here’s how to make the right choice.
1. Start with your business goals
Before you compare agencies, get clear on what you want your website to achieve. Do you need more leads? Higher online sales? Better brand credibility? The right agency won’t just design a nice‑looking site—they’ll build one that supports your long‑term business strategy.
2. Review their portfolio and case studies
A strong web design agency will proudly showcase past work. Look for:
- Projects in or similar to your industry (for example, you can filter website by industry on the MyWork Portfolio page).
- Demonstrated results (like improved conversion rates or traffic)
- Sites that are modern, responsive, and user‑friendly
- An authentic portfolio tells you more than a good sales pitch ever could.
3. Assess their process and communication
Transparency matters. Ask how they handle timelines, revisions, and client communication. A reliable agency will have a clear project plan, regular check‑ins, and open lines of contact from start to finish.
4. Consider ongoing support
A great website isn’t “set and forget.” It needs maintenance, updates, performance checks. Choose an agency that offers ongoing support, hosting, and digital marketing—so your investment continues to deliver results after launch.
5. Check for technical expertise
Beyond aesthetics, your site needs solid technical foundations:
- Fast load times
- Mobile responsiveness
- SEO optimisation
- Accessibility compliance
- Hosting expertise and best‑in‑class hosting:
Make sure they partner with premium hosting, for example, MyWork is listed as an Advanced Partner on the WP Engine Agency Directory, an experienced agency understands these details and builds them into every project.
6. Read reviews and ask for references
Client testimonials and third‑party reviews can reveal a lot about reliability, service quality, and long‑term satisfaction. Check platforms like:
If possible, ask to speak directly with past clients about their experience.
7. Don’t just compare prices – compare value
Cheap websites often cost more in the long run due to poor performance, outdated design or lack of scalability. Focus on value, not just cost. The best web design agency will help you generate return on investment, not just deliver a pretty homepage.
For example, one of our recent case studies with Robot Lawn Mowers Australia showed a
- 1,186 % increase in revenue
- 388 % more sales, and a
- 716 % uplift in ROI – delivering nearly 25× ROI year‑on‑year.
That’s value that drives business, not just design.
