Responsive web design is crucial for any business in 2020.
It needs to be fast, work on any kind of device, and help people navigate your site easily. But that kind of work can’t be done quickly or all by one person (at least not efficiently).
So you’ll need to hire a web design agency to build it for your if you can’t do it in-house. But now you have another problem: with thousands of web design companies and creative agencies in London, how can you find the right one?
Fortunately, we have a solution. Our list shows you 9 of the best web design agencies in London along with their expertise, quotes from the agencies themselves, and previous clients to help you pick the right agency.
But before we get to that, let’s look at what a web design agency actually does.
What does a web design agency do?
A web design agency brings your website to life, from planning to build and deployment. Primarily, they focus on criteria, including:
- The design of the site
- The site’s responsiveness, particularly for mobile
- Integrating with a content management system (CMS)
- Calls to action (CTAs)
- Intuitive navigation
- User experience (UX)
While there are nuanced differences between web design and web development, there are cases where a web design agency can cover both, depending on the client, level of expertise, and the number of web designers who work on projects.
So, let’s have a look at 9 of the best web agencies in London.
