In this article I will give a few tips of where to find a low cost web design company and also about the best ways of producing a quality website.

How many people or companies are advertising their services for website design?

The answer is a great deal. They surely can not all be asking for huge sums of money to build and design websites. There must be some who offer cheap, affordable websites.

If you think about a company or person who is just starting out, they have not got a very large portfolio of previous work and clients to show, and in this situation are likely in these early days to offer you a competitive rate. Once they become more established they will then no doubt increase their prices.

To find these companies which are just starting out, I would advise looking on auction websites like ebay, looking in Yellow Pages, looking in newspapers such as a paper we have here in Birmingham called bargain pages. Looking on the internet on search engines and asking family and friends is also other avenues to explore.

Once you have found a company you need to think about the content for your website, the colours and also about graphics. Do you want it have flash design? These are all things to think about.

You then need to think about hosting, who will host your website? It may be worth asking the web designer if they can recommend a host.

Then once you have had your site built you need to promote it. Building up a regular and constant stream of backward links is very important as this will result in your website obtaining a higher page rank and more visitors.
