Why use a Professional Designer?

There are many 'cowboys' in the web design industry in New Zealand. Due to the low cost of computers, and the availability of non licensed software, almost anyone with a computer can potentially set themselves up as a 'Web Designer', and many people have. Many of these fly by night web design companies lack genuine design skills and design qualifications, and have given web designers a bad name. This has also resulted in a low perceived value of good web design. Always make sure that you choose a web designer that has a broad selection of designs in their portfolio, and that the designs look professional.

Another major thing to consider when choosing a web designer is, are they able to offer you support after your web design has been completed. This means are they still going to be around in a year or two. A large percentage of web design companies fold before the end of their first year, and aren't able to provide help when the client needs to update the site. Design Lounge is proud to have been in business since 2001, which makes us one of Wellington's most established web design companies.

Also always check that any company you get a quote from has licenses to use their particular web design software. Design Lounge uses the Adobe Creative Suite of products to design all of their website's, which is the industry standard software.
