WEBSITE Design & SEO COMPANY
Understanding it’s nearly impossible to be a perfect Web Company to everyone, we strive for perfection for your business! We’ll identify your website needs, and be transparent about our ability to fill them.
There are many Digital marketing and Web Development Companies to choose from and trusting the right partner is critical. Your choice will largely be determined but what your short term and long term web needs are. In the nature of transparency and to expedite the process of your selection we have outlined the many of those questions and answers below.
Things to consider when choosing a Website Company:
It is a common misconception that a website designer is the same as a website developer. They are in fact, two distinct jobs. A web developer is a programmer who can write code, they specialize in the development of websites, and in many cases write custom code to create functionality on a website. A web designer specialize in web graphic design, the aesthetic aspects of a website, user interface and over all design. There are specialists that do both, and if your project requires both it is a good idea to understand the web companies capabilities in both.
In regards to the reference “in house”, we make that distinction because if a web company is outsourcing one or the other to another vendor, it is sometime a good idea to talk with both vendors to ensure there won’t be miscommunications or delays. Because Infront Webworks is a full service web company, our departments offer seamless communication with efficient work flow and sensitivity to timelines.
There is important planning that needs to be done before a website project is started. Even companies that are doing small websites need to consider things like, what content management systems do they know how to edit in, how much editing of the website will they be doing, what features do they care most about,is there custom functionality, have you done a sitemap of how the website navigation will work, will your website integrate with a CRM, is SEO a consideration, and more.
Infront’s team will address all of these planning items and more. We can work with company’s who already have this work done, or can assist with any or all the planning phases of your website.
Infront keeps our “portfolio and case studies” on our website. All case studies have printable files that can be emailed to you as a 1-sheet by filling out a quick request. We consistently “case study client projects” to submit for award consideration. The reason we do this is not vanity, but to ensure the work we are providing clients is amongst the best in our industry. We also like to be very transparent with potential clients, so they can learn more about the work we do and have done.

Most successful businesses and organizations in competitive markets have found that creating a legitimate presence on the internet is one of the most valuable efforts they can undertake to drive new business and serve existing customers & partners. There are many ways to market online, but for most companies, a website is the cornerstone of successful marketing as it’s the company’s 24×7 “office.” There are three essential characteristics of a successful website: credibility (how it looks), usability (how it works), and findability (how it’s found). Infront Webworks works closely with you to build a website that achieves an optimal balance between these three characteristics, tailored for your online strategy.

That is a great question, because at Infront Webworks we work very hard to ensure our digital teams stay as effective as the best performing in the industry. One way we do this is to compete in some of the most prestigious digital marketing, SEO, and website development award competitions worldwide. The awards are annual and have rigorous entry guidelines, including providing a detailed case study of work completed, an application that asks for definitive details about the work completed, hours spent, cost to client, KPI’s hit, goals met, Return on investment for client, and the list goes on.
Over a 3 year period here are some awards our digital team has been proud to be part of:
- 2020 Global Marketing Awards- Winner SEO Global Travel Campaign award
- 2019 Top 50 Tech Companies Award Winner- InterCon
- 2018 Best of Small Business Awards- Best SEO Company

To make an informed decision about the company you chose to trust your websites digital presence and reputation with you should be aware of the difference between an award that is won on merit, and one that is “bought”. There are ranking services online (Clutch and Upcity are a couple examples) that rank “Digital Agencies, SEO companies, Digital Companies, and related businesses that specialize in proving website services to businesees. The confusing part is, they claim an impartiality in ranking these website companies but in fact they mix the rank of Digital Agencies up with paid listings and legimately ranked Agencies. The problem is many times the unsuspecting business owner thinks the “#1 Digital Marketing Firm in America” is in fact the best, when in actuality, they just pay that listing service the most.
The takeaway from this information is, when someone tells you they are “award winning”, or you see it on thier website, look it up and when you are looking for high ranking Website Companies, or digital agencies, on websites like Clutch and UpCity, the ones that say “sponsor” or Diamond preffered” are service providers that have typically paid for thier rankings.
Many times businesses fell hiring a freelancer or a small start up can save them money. This can be effective if you have definitive strategy, and understand exactly what you are buying, and comfortable vetting the vendors skills.
Some areas of concern when hiring too small a company or a website services freelancer are;
- Limited depth of service- They typically are experienced in one or two areas of website services, so can have limited flexibility, or offer services that are not on par with the quality of the area you originally hired them. At Infront Webworks we hire experts in every department, so you get the benefit of expert service regardless of department.
- Limited Experience- The reality is, every single website has a different set of circumstances, and small web companies, or freelancers, particularly ones that have been around a for a fairly short period of time (1 to 5 years), just may not have the experience to effectively diagnose, and strategize whats best for your website. Running an online business since 1994, and with combined work experience across departments of over two and a half century’s, there is just not that many scenarios a digital team like Infront’s has not seen. To maximize your chance of beating out your competitors online, you need to work with a team that understands your needs and can implement a winning strategy based on experience.
The reality of working with every Website Services Company is that, “budget is a consideration” and although we can’t guarantee that we can provide the website service your looking for the budget you have allocated, we can guarantee that we are focused on long term relationships with clients, over the prices we charge.
For companies that have high turn over or attrition, they need amazing sales teams to keep work coming in all the time, and don’t typically compromise on price for any reason. At Infront Webworks, we have worked with many of our clients for over 20 years. We have one of the lowest turn over rates in our industry, have one of the highest client retention rates and have never had a monthly attrition rate of over 3 percent. None of this is an accident, we engineer our services to produce results! Our programs are structured around our principles of “trust, transparency, results and reporting”
The bottom line is, if there is a long term fit and we feel we can provide your business value and return on investment from the services we are providing, we are always willing to consider the price of the services we provide you. Infront Webworks is all about win/win/win relationships.
- You win- If you are succesful and we help you grow your business online, YOU WIN!
- We win- If your success online intrests you in other services we offer, and we have a long lasting relationship, WE WIN!
- Your Customers or clients win- If you provide more people with your quality service or product because of the work we did online, THE CUSTOMER WINS!
