Okay, so it might see a bit biased that we are writing an article on how to choose a local Las Vegas web design and development company, however, as a business owner we will deliver valuable advice on how to do just that.
Las Vegas offer numerous large and one-person web design and development shops that can assist you in the creation of your web site, however, you should be aware that large marketing and design firms charge a LOT of money to build and maintain websites. Smaller one-person web design companies can many times be not as seasoned and reliable as you’d hoped.
Here’s a list of things you should consider when interviewing Las Vegas web designer companies (and most of these questions should be answered by visiting a web design company’s website):
- How many years have they been in business?
- How many years have they been in Las Vegas?
- Who are some of their clients and do they have testimonials?
- How many people do they have on staff?
- Are there real people listed on their site if you view their “About Us” page?
- Do they outsource the work to other countries (buy American)?
- Did they answer their phone and/or return your call promptly?
- Did they answer your email inquiry promptly?
- Did you review their portfolio of work on their website?
- Do they have a real physical address as a place of business?
- Do they offer a full set of services for your business needs (marketing, design, development, graphic design, etc.)?
- What do you find if you search on the owner’s name on a google search?
- Are they doing business on a handshake or with a proper Agreement that will protect both parties?
- Is their website complete in information that can enable to you make a informed choice?
If you take the above points into consideration when interviewing a company that may build your website, you will be sure to make an informed decision.

You might think you have a lot of reasons to work with a Marketing & Design agency outside of the Las Vegas area to help you market and promote your business or company. Reputation and experience are a couple of often-heard reasons. Bigger firms and national and international firms are most likely not necessary to achieve your business and marketing objectives. If you are having a tough time trying to find the best fit for you and your marketing and design needs here in Las Vegas, read on.
Why you should be working with a local marketing and design firm in Las Vegas
- Local Marketing and Design firms (like Perkolate) know the local Las Vegas market and all of the nuances involved in marketing your business or services here in Vegas and nationally.
- Meet the company you hire to work with you on your marketing and web and graphic design projects face to face. Nobody wants to work with people they haven’t met in person and have a relationship with.
- A local company, like Perkolate, has done business within the community for many years (if they are reputable) and would know of a lot of resources and great connections to help you with your business or company.
- Supporting businesses in your own community make your business and other Las Vegas businesses stronger.
