Finding a web designer in
Pakistan is no easy task these days. Most businesses will start by conducting a
search on one of the major search engines available today: Google, MSN, Yahoo,
AltaVista, Hot Bot, etc. A search term similar to web design Pakistan or web site design Pakistan is typically
conducted. Sifting through these results is where the real challenges occur.
You have the option of searching
only for web design companies in Pakistan by choosing the “search web pages
from Pakistan” option on a search engine like Google.com.pk, for example. But
does this actually return meaningful result? In other words, will a search on
web design just for web pages in Pakistan show you a list of web design
companies located in Pakistan? In short, no.
Firstly, a search for web design
by itself returns results that contain not only web design companies, but sites
that contain information about web design or tools and services related to web
design. You need to ensure that you are as specific as possible in your
searches.
Also, specifying that you only
want to see web pages from Pakistan can be a bit misleading. Search engines
have their own methods for determining the origin of a website and these
methods can be unreliable. Engines like Google implement some pretty clever
methods to be sure, but they are not flawless. You can serve your search better
by simply modifying your search terms.
By searching for web design
Pakistan you are telling the search engines that all 3 words are important to
you. Again, this is far from perfect, but it is a good start. An even better
search involves more of the advanced search “operators” such as quotes, plus
signs, negatives signs, etc. A search for “web design” +Pakistan is far
superior to web design Pakistan. This search tells the search engine that
you’re looking for the phrase “web design” on pages that also have the word
Pakistan in them.
Let’s not lose sight of the topic
of this page, though. What to look for when looking for a web design company
Pakistan. You are probably best served by choosing a web design company local
to you. If you are located in Islamabad, choose a web design company in Islamabad. It just makes sense, as this
company is readily accessible to meet with you in person, provide on-site training,
etc. This should act to increase your comfort level. A local web design company
is, most often, preferable to one that is not nearby.
So what if your search for
Pakistani city is really small or the local offerings don’t meet your
expectations? In that case, here’s what you need to be looking for when
choosing a web design company Pakistan:
Make sure that they have an
impressive portfolio of work. Any web design company in Pakistan worth its salt
will showcase pieces of work they are particularly proud of. They should
inspire you and instill you with a sense of confidence about the web design
company.
What are their thoughts on web
design or website promotion? If you like what they have to say and what their
stated values, mission statement and methodologies are, then chances are the
relationship you form with them will be an easy one.
What is their pricing like? Do
they mention “package” prices? If so, run for the hills. You’re business is
unique, is it not? So why on Earth would a web design company Pakistan think
your website would fit into a package?
You need to ensure that the web
design company Pakistan you choose makes you feel comfortable. Give them a call
(not an email) and chat with someone. Are they personable? Are they asking the
right questions? Are they listening to you rather than spouting off about how
they great their web design services are? As with any service industry, web
design in Pakistan needs to be customer focused. That’s you! The web design company Pakistan you select
needs to have your best interests in mind. They need to be working for you
toward achieving your objectives.
