You can be sure of one thing. There are as many web designers in Newcastle as there are web sites on the internet. They're a-dime-a-dozen and we should know - after all, we are one of them! But how best to differentiate between them? Which can offer you the right service and which can offer the right price? The answer all depends on what sort of web product you're after.
Web design agencies tend to specialise in one of several different niche markets. It's easy to understand why - a web design agency delivers a piece of work, say a company blog, that goes down very well with the client. The client then recommends the web design agency to their friends and associates and they're soon hired to design another company blog. Assuming the web design agency maintains the high quality of their work, before they know what's happened they find themselves designing company blogs left, right and centre and they find themselves with a formidable reputation in the field. In a sense, it's much the same phenomenon as an actor finding themselves typecast in a particular role.
All web design agencies would, of course, prefer variety in their work - it is the spice of life after all. A little social-networking site here, a couple of banner advertisements there. It keeps the web designers fresh and the developers busy boning-up on new programming languages to deploy should the need arise.
But you're the client, and you shouldn't give a fig about the idle wish-lists of web design agencies. Instead, you should be choosing the right agency for the project that you're currently working on. Need online advertising - then find a company that has strong credentials and a nice portfolio of work in the field. And if you already have an existing agency, consider if they're really the best men (and women) for the job - perhaps a little shake-up and some new faces on the scene will mean better results for you.
+GOOD are small, but perfectly formed and so are the sites and experiences that we deliver. Our work is quirky, fun and more often than not built with flash. Microsites, galleries, viral games and banner advertisements - those are the stock of our trade. We can also offer a fair price, a quick turn-around and lashings of good cheer to anyone that chooses to hire us - so don't dawdle, we'll be waiting for you right here in sunny Newcastle.
