Want to create a new website , but don't know how to get a quote from a web design agency Dubai ? In this article, I present the most important aspects that not only help in requesting a quote, but also make it easier to compare the offers received.

Let’s see, therefore, what information an agency can use to give you a quote for designing and developing a new website.

Write a few sentences about your business.


Briefly describe your company, describe what you do, who you work for, what products and services you have.


In addition to presenting your company, you can describe your personal history in the company, the most important milestones of the company and your plans for the future.


In the case of a toy store, you don’t need too much information for the web design agency Dubai to understand what you’re dealing with, but there are areas where you really need more explanation to get into the picture that makes the offer.

Do you already have a website? What are you not happy with?


If we don’t start from scratch, but already have an existing website that you want instead of a new one, it gives you a lot of opportunities to create even better using your past experience. To do this, you should share the following information with the eCommerce website development Dubai:

What is the availability of your website?When was the page created?What was your experience using it?What do you like about it and what would you definitely change?Do you have Google Analytics traffic statistics for your site? Can we look at the data?


Roughly, this is the information that can help the agency a lot in seeing exactly what the current situation is and in what directions you want to move forward.

What is your goal with the new website?


A website can play many roles in a company's business or marketing plans. At the same time, from the very beginning of the planning, it is important to know which of these goals have priority, because the functionality and operation of the website itself must be adjusted to achieve these goals as effectively as possible.


Let’s look at what are the most common goals for a website

Does your company have an image description, image colors or logo?


The logo is the most important image element and most businesses have it. However, in addition to renewing the web look, the logo may need to be updated.


For larger companies, an image manual is created, in which, in addition to the logo, colors, fonts and even recommendations for web design are defined.


Because the web image needs to be tailored to the corporate look, it is important for the Website Development Company in Dubai to know what “brought material” they need to manage before design, which are the colors, fonts, logos, and shapes that need to be considered when designing.

Who is your target audience?


A website is not designed primarily for the customer, but much more for the target audience. The website should reflect the tastes of the target audience, be tailored to their web usage habits, otherwise it will perform poorly.


When examining the target audience, age, education, spoken language, area of interest, web usage habits, device usage habits are the ones that should be brought to the fore. The profile created in this way, officially called a personal, helps to create a website that potential customers will then be happy to use.

What menu items and functionality do you want for the website?


Defining the content elements and functionality of a website can also be part of the web development work, but we have many clients who already turn to us with a definite idea about the content and features. In many cases, this information comes from their previous experience or from what they saw on a competitor’s website.


If you know what items you absolutely need, write them in the request for quotation . Otherwise, here's a list of the most common features you can use to choose what you need:

What websites do you like and why?


Web design mixes a wide variety of styles and in addition to current trends, there are a couple of evergreen looks that won’t go out of fashion for many years. Of the many trends, it is difficult for web design agency Dubai to immediately grasp the one that matches the customer’s taste.


That’s why we tend to ask you to point out a couple of websites that you like, because based on what you’ve seen, we can decide what colors, shapes, and styles to think about when making a design.

What do you want to see on the site again?


Until we include this issue in the request for quotation, we often ran into the situation that after the first design mockup, it became clear which colors, shapes, or design elements the customer was rigidly refraining from and did not want to to see on your website.


In such cases, we are forced to run another round with the design, to modify the design, which, of course, in addition to wasting time, also fills the participants in the project with some frustration.


To prevent such cases, we tend to ask well in advance what colors, shapes, or design styles you find decidedly ugly.

Deadline and budget


I left to the end the most delicate issue, the deadline and the budget. The deadline doesn’t just affect the web design agency Dubai , as a modern website requires a large amount of textual and visual material to be created in order to be sharpened. That is why it is important to set a date that can be realistically met by all those involved in the project.


Although the budget is not defined in most cases, it still happens that due to either tender or marketing budget aspects, it is good to know in advance what budget we can calculate.
