New York has no shortage of reputable New York web design companies to work with; meaning you will be lost for options when choosing the right service provider for your needs. Even so, knowing what to expect from a good company will make your choice of a service provider very easy. Here are some of the things that should point you to the right direction.

Be wary of a company that puts so much emphasis on the aesthetic appeal of a site. It is the functionality of a website that is more important than its visual appeal. If you have a website with a complicated navigation, perhaps because it has so many flashy images, or if you have a site whose web copy isn't optimized for the search engines, or a site that does not meet the needs of its primary target audience, then that website is as good as nothing.

Make sure the company knows about Search Engine Optimization. SEO is the lifeline of most websites today, hence has to be done correctly right from the designing and development phase. The web copy has to be customized to the targeted keywords to allow spiders and web crawlers to easily index and rank a site.

Even while paying close attention to optimization, a company worth its name should integrate the main elements of flash in all HTML web pages. This is what makes a site well polished and fully optimized both for human visitors as well as the search engine bots. Ultimately the site becomes informative, interactive, and very functional.

A good service provider should be prompt in responding to client queries. You want to get a company that responds to queries in a timely manner, not five days after you send them an email inquiring about their services. This habit may continue even after you have signed a deal and contracted their services.

Don't work with a company that has a poorly designed website. When you find it troublesome to navigate through the website of the service provider you are considering hiring, you should certainly look elsewhere. You should not expect your website will be any different. If there are broken links and grammatical errors in the web copy, no doubt you may also have the same issues on your website.

Do not work with a company that has no testimonials on their website or there are fake reviews and testimonials. The last things you should check before choosing a service provider are the testimonials and past client reviews. Each web design company should have a portfolio section or a testimonial part on their website such that past clients can post their comments.

If the website doesn't have that section, this could be an indication that the testimonials were not worth publishing. If you cannot find information on the site, request the service provider for referrals and contacts of some of their past clients. If they claim not to have any contacts, or give you doctored testimonials/reviews, you might as well start looking elsewhere because this is not the New York web design company to work with.
