Tips for finding a web design agency
Word of mouth is one of the best forms of recommendation so ask around. Speak to colleagues or ask friends or family. Another option is to ask someone who is involved in the web design industry and can arrange a couple of meetings with designers.
Look around as well. Have a look a various agencies, read their testimonials and check out their portfolios. What you will find is that some agencies specialise in certain sectors, offer bespoke services or only deal with large organisations. Getting a good understanding of the industry will allow you to ask all the right questions.
What about social media? If you use Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn on a regular basis then check on there to see if there are any agencies you like the look of. Post a message asking if anyone can recommend a web design agency or do a search for possible candidates.

It's a good idea to have a set of questions to hand when approaching an agency. The responses you receive will determine whether the agency is the right one for you and your business.
Are you dealing with skilled, experienced industry professionals who will work closely with you, learning more about your business goals before suggesting ways to achieve them? If the answer is yes, then great, you have found your web agency but if not then look elsewhere. It is also always worth finding out who your point of contact will be and meeting them to make sure they are someone you would like to work with.
