Small Business Website Design Company Hiring Guide

What is a small business website design company?

Small business web design companies are composed of designers and developers who prototype, design, develop, and enhance websites with the specific needs, challenges, and goals of small businesses in mind.

Through functional, user-friendly, and visually pleasing websites, they help small businesses, startups, and SMEs compete with well-established brands and leverage the benefits a professional website.  This enables small businesses to showcase their offerings, attract potential customers, and, ultimately, drive business growth even without the budget or scale of larger enterprises.

What do small business web designers do?

Small business web designers make digital assets for small businesses, such as websites, online stores, and web apps. Here are some of the specific services they offer:

  • Custom Website Design  
  • Responsive Design  
  • Content Management System Integration  
  • Content & Graphics Development 
  • Social Media Integration  
  • eCommerce Functionality  
  • SEO  
  • Branding  
  • Testing  
  • Analytics and Tracking 
  • Maintenance and Updates

The best small business website design companies tailor their services based on their client’s requirements and objectives to increase efficiency. They are experts in design and computer programming and combine their technical skills and creativity to come up with a high-quality and visually appealing website.

Why hire a small business website design agency?

Hiring a leading small business website design agency is beneficial in many ways. Here are some notable benefits you shouldn’t miss out on:  

Reach Your Local Audience 

A recent BrightLocal survey found that 98% of consumers search the internet to find information about a local business. Having a robust online presence and an optimized website will make it easier for potential customers to find you, boosting both your website traffic and conversions.  

Increase Credibility 

The same BrightLocal survey shows that 76% of consumers regularly read online reviews for local businesses. Nowadays, consumers have so many options to choose from, which is why they rely on reviews before making a purchase.  

Web designers for small businesses can help you appropriately incorporate reviews into your website. Moreover, they can optimize your website according to the principles of web design, further increasing your credibility among consumers.  

With their high-end services, you will get an eye-catching and functional site that boosts your brand’s reliability and allows users to make secure purchases. 

Boost Your Profit 

According to Insider Intelligence, the number of online shoppers in the US is expected to reach 218.8 million in 2023. Your digital presence starts with a website, your biggest marketing asset in the digital age we live in.  

Top web design firms understand the nuances involved in small businesses. And they are knowledgeable in the latest web design tips to increase conversions. Taking advantage of the technical expertise of the best website design companies for small business, you can also promote your products or services online.

This case study reiterates the importance of outsourcing professional small business web design services. Brothers Pest Control approached Big Red Jelly, a Utah-based small business website design agency, for a site redesign. The project resulted in a whopping 1,700% increase in leads.

How many hours does it take to design a website?

Generally, it takes anywhere from 40 to 300 hours to design a website. However, the timeline is largely dependent on the website’s complexity and the agency’s level of commitment to the project.  

Here are some sample time frames for various types of websites:

Type of websiteAverage number of hours
Landing page40
Simple web application120
Average web application200
Complex web application300

How much does a simple website design cost?

A simple web design costs a flat rate of $5,000. Complex and larger sites can cost up to $10,000. Meanwhile, the average rate for web design on a per-hour basis ranges from $30 to $80.

However, the actual cost of web design services can vary depending on the type of website, number of features and images, maintenance, and complexity of the project as well as the designer’s skills, years of experience, and geographical location.

How do I find good web designers who work with small businesses?

Finding the best website designer for your small business can be daunting. Follow this step-by-step guide to find the perfect fit:
