Is your PI Website Designer the Real Deal?

One of the best ways to gauge how effective (or potentially ineffective) a website design company may be, is to not just view their portfolio, but actually visit the websites posted there to see how many of them are still active, and that they look the same as the images portrayed there.

If some websites in their portfolio either no longer exist, return errors when you try to visit them, or look very different from the images (indicating they have had to be re-designed by another web designer,) then those websites clearly weren’t successful, and their web design company probably isn’t going to do such a great job for your agency either!

Beyond the Portfolio: Digging Deeper

A stunning portfolio is a great start. But don’t stop there! Here’s how to use your advanced investigative skills, and really put those web design companies to the test:

• Longevity Matters. How long has the company been around? Experience counts, particularly in the ever-evolving digital landscape. PI Websites, for example, has been crafting private investigator websites since 1998. That’s more than a quarter of a century of staying power!
• Do they know the Private Investigation industry? A generic web design company might not understand the specific needs and challenges of a private investigation agency. PI Websites specializes in web design for private investigators and detective agencies, offering a deep understanding of the profession.
• Check for Client Testimonials: What are their clients saying? Look for specific feedback. Do they praise the design, the service, the results, or all three? Check out the testimonials on PI Websites to see what our investigator clients have to say.
• SEO Expertise is Key: A beautiful website is useless as an online marketing tool if no one can find it. Does the company understand search engine optimization (SEO)? Can they get your site ranking high on Google?
• Mobile-Friendly is a Must: Is the site responsive and will it automatically adapt to the device and screen-size it’s being viewed on? In today’s mobile-first world, your website must look great on any device.  All websites we design are full adaptive and mobile-friendly.

Investigation Agencies Need More Than Just a Pretty Website

Your website is more than just an online brochure. It’s a lead-generating machine. It’s a credibility builder. It should allow potential clients to obtain the information about your agency necessary to make informed decisions about hiring you and of course, promote and advertise your agency, attracting potential new clients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
