When choosing which company you would like to build your website, there are many factors which you need to take into consideration.

Firstly how much is the website going to cost to build and host. We all have different budgets, however there are some very good deals to get, if you are willing to search around.

I am not a web designer myself; I actually help people to obtain cheap telephone calls. I am however rather experienced when sourcing web design companies as I have over forty sites on the internet.

When choosing a company it is important to look at their portfolio, this will give you a good insight into the type of work they do.

Most web desgn firms will offer additional services such as optimisation, web promotion and may also submit your website to the search engines.

I would expect any site that a company produces for me to be optimized for my chosen key phrases and that it has been submiited to the major search engines. I make a point of asking prior to taking out the web design service.

It is always worth asking the company to add a link to your website, preferably from their homepage, as the more backward links you have, the higher page rank you will eventually obtain. Some say that you are likely to receive a higher amount of traffic if you have a site which is for example a page rank five rather than a page rank four.

I also like the google adwords program. This is where you pay per click to your website and your advert is likely to appear in the first or second page of the results, on the right hand side.

You can also write articles, like the one I am here or you could pay for a manual article submission service to do it for you. This will potentially obtain you even more additional links and visitors.
