Decide which services you need from a web site designer in Belgium Website designers differ not only in style, but in the services they offer. Some design companies limit their services to simply designing a site and filling it with client-provided content. Other designers will go further and use your ideas to design, layout and write the copy for your site, and then carry out a search engine marketing strategy. If you can afford these services, and trust your web designer, this will save you significant time and hassle.

I recommend:  Alys and DR-Webdesign can both handle your project, from web hosting to marketing. Their services also include web design, search engine marketing, web hosting, web maintenance, support and consulting.

Opt for an Belgium web design company that specializes in e-commerce If you want to sell products online, then e-commerce is for you. Many Belgian web designers include e-commerce development in their services, but their prices are really dependent on the volume of products you wish to sell and the merchant services you plan to offer. Database driven e-commerce solutions require additional software and coding, so make sure you are clear about what you want so your designer is clear about the charge.

I recommend:  Digital Base offers e-commerce solutions, in addition to their website design services. COMSTRAT can help businesses of all sizes find the right e-commerce solution.

Figure out who will maintain your web site design in Belgium If you are web savvy and have the time, or maybe you already employ a web savvy person, then you may consider self-maintenance. This will definitely save costs. Most design companies have a content management system (CMS) set up so that you can to maintain your own website, should you desire to do so. This option usually requires no programming skills and ultimately saves you money.

I recommend:  @iPower offers a built-in control system that lets you edit your web sites. GregOne also provides a CMS to help you make modifications.
