Go unique, go bespoke – go local! Why local web designers can make a difference

Once you’ve decided to build a website for your business, the first task is to source a professional web designer to make the magic happen.

A quick search online and you’ll be flooded with different options. The number of website design agencies and jobs in the UK is growing at a rate much faster than the average industry, meaning those options will keep on growing.

On the one hand, this is fantastic because it gives clients more choice. But on the other hand, it can be confusing and time-consuming to choose. Having to research agencies and decide who to trust to build your site can even put you off getting a website altogether.

So, what if you cut through the noise by limiting your search to local website designers only?

The benefits of using a local website designer

Limiting your search to local website designers might make your decision easier, but that isn’t the only reason to think local.

The other benefits of using a local website designer are:

• You can meet face to face – meeting your local designer at their office is a great way to explain your vision and make sure you’re on the same page. Sometimes it can be hard to explain what you need over the phone or through emails, and meeting a designer in person can ease those worries.
• Your designer knows the area – small businesses that cater to the local community could benefit from a local designer who knows the area. Their inside knowledge of local areas and culture could benefit the site's design and its content.
• You support other local businesses – another benefit of using a local web designer is that you are supporting other local businesses, creating a supportive community for each other. You’re also investing in the local economy, which could feed back to you in the future. It could even end in recommendations for each other’s business over the long term.
• Working in the same time zone – some UK businesses may opt for international web designers who are renowned for their work or simply because they can offer cheaper services. However, this might not be beneficial if time zones affect the efficiency of communication, and ultimately how long it takes to get your website live.
