Finding a quality web designer in Wodonga can be challenging. Nobody likes to be ripped off and find a web designer who is results driven and shares your "why" for business is where you need to start.

Here are some things to look for when finding an Albury based web designer or agency

1. Set goals from business and understand your marketing plan

Understanding your goals looking for a new website or changing an existing one can require a deeper understanding of your business goals.

Examples of goals that may not even include growth in revenue include:

• Growing your business visibility, brand, and awareness so more than 1 in ten locals in Wodonga could tell you who you are and what you do.
• Make it easy for your customers to engage with your contact forms and chat system on your site. Trying to engage with at least five new customers in this way per month by providing better CTAs or wording to engage your customer.
• Growing your audience through lead capture is my favourite by far, and is easy to give something away for free that can provide a channel to a targetted prospect. No more letter drops to randoms that end up in the bin. Increasing your list by 500 people in six months could be a goal.

Make sure when you get an agency or designer to build not only your website, this is specifically to achieve business goals and provide valued outcomes.

2. Know your market

Suppose your agency or freelance web designer isn't asking questions about your market. How do you expect them to put together a strategy that will speak on behalf of you ask effectively as you would to your Albury Wodonga area?

3. Clear messaging

Design services is one thing, but rarely will you find a designer that builds websites but also knows the right copy to use to convert your customers. On-site SEO and conversion are all about creating a clear message for your customers to relate to and to engage with. if you put in only an hour research Google "Storybrand marketing" and you'll be blown away. I could go on and on about how effective messaging Storybrand provides you the clarity you need for prospects to subscribe to your "why" and get on board with your mission.

4. Establishing your customer as the hero of your site not you

What works better, talking to someone about themselves or talking to them about you?  Of course, you need to tell people about your Wodonga business services which are about you but paint a picture of where they are in this story, provide them with those services and that transform them from unhappy customers to happy customers.  This stuff is exciting and comes with realisation of "why" the customer should not only choose you but also "why" you and your staff get out of bed every day. Consider a retreat that centres around a Brandscript or mission that turns you from a manager to a leader and your staffs jobs into careers.

5. Empathy for the problem and customer

Looking for an Albury Wodonga web designer who believes in building quality over just making a quick buck will ensure that they want to understand not only you but understand your customer and provide empathy for them in their strategy to get more leads.

6. Using a villain in you're story will connect your customer's emotions

Again it's one thing to have a web developer in Wodonga who knows how to code up websites to be fast and optimised. Having one that creates clear messages and has the ability to influence an audience is maybe not something that you will get but is something that you need to be effective. If you pick the right web design agency in Wodonga from those listed on our Wondoga page you'll hopefully get a team that knows how to put a villain in your messaging. This sounds weird, a villain really!

A villain could be "back pain", "someone that wastes money", "high fees", or "dodgy web designers in Albury". Anything that stirs an emotional response.

7. Make it simple in a few steps to solve the problem

Being empathetic to the problem and defining a solution in your services is important. If you choose an agency that simply looks at putting images and text onto a page or template, then you've gone to the wrong place. Use a local Albury or Wodonga web designer who is more in tune with your problems as a small business owner. You want someone that doesn't just want to build a website just for their portfolio but someone that wants to solve your problem and build a small business.

This article is the third focused in a series or cluster where we target the primary keyword "Albury SEO". We've also extended into "web designer Albury" as well using a tier 1 tactic to get the lower-hanging fruit. I can and have achieved a top 3 result for SEO Albury in under 30 days for the previous keyword and now again volume sub 10 per month we're hitting web design Albury. Let's snowball the growth and engage customers with local quality web design services like Oga or web matrix (neither of these I have any affiliation with)

9. Find a website designer in Wodonga who values numbers and measuring results

It's going to cost a lot but if you pick the right marketing agency in Wodonga or Albury, you're going to have someone local you can trust and someone that is on board with your mission and statement. Consider a care plan with this entity that is ongoing in value and has specified deliverables, so you know what your money is being spent on.

Here are some don'ts as well. Don't pick someone who:

• Will do the whole process and do a great job at everything
• Who simply shows you a bunch of templates and asks you to choose
• Doesn't want to do much SEO but only wants to focus on good content (a basic designer approach)
• Sees your relationship as short term
• Uses Squarespace as their only tool - They are a beginner, and your website will not scale as well or be as flexible.
• It isn't only a website designer unless you don't want to do any work on the website yourself.
  • A developer is more likely to think about maintainability and the customer's use after the project is finished.
• Isn't only a website developer unless you don't want your site nicely laid out or have consistent colours, fonts, sizes and other things that make a website look amateur

Web Design Wodonga

I believe if you've searched for web design Wodonga or found this a critical keyword, then you're probably a web designer or agency yourself. Agency-based website design will ensure that you have all aspects of your website built to the highest quality and that it's not just pretty but something that performs for all aspects of your keywords in SEO Albury.

Local Web Design Wodonga Services

You may not find that one local agency or freelance designer can provide you with all of the skills you need to build a small business website. You may need someone who specialises in advertising Google Adwords. Someone that specialises in Website Search Engine Optimisation in order to drive traffic to your site from Google's organic listings. Having an agency-based approach to getting these services is a good start, but often local agencies, even in Albury Wodonga, will outsource their work for local web design.
