As a small business ourselves, we understand that when you invest in an external service, like a website designer, the money and time you invest in the project is more personal than a bigger business.
This investment in time and money often makes website production a more rewarding job as we like to create relationships with other business owners in our community. Designing for local businesses can be one of the most rewarding projects we are commissioned with. The best part is creating a relationship with another business, like ours, in our community and helping both of us grow and succeed.
Whether we’re creating a new website, refreshing an old one or changing its purpose to e-commerce for example, working with a small business can make you think about the process a little differently. Small businesses have a lot more on the line when it comes to choosing external services, they may have more questions and be keen to know how a website can help them grow and how they can update the website themselves.
What are the benefits of working with a local web designer?
From a quick straw poll at a local networking event, most people buy web design services through recommendation or through meeting at a networking event. A local web designer can offer:
- Knowledge of the local market/business conditions
- Easy meeting up for face to face
- The comfort of local testimonials and references
- Other local contacts that might be useful to you
Through necessity, it has become second nature to be familiar with Zoom and Teams etc, potentially lessening the value of face to face meetings as we all get used to communicating through these tools. TPG Design works with many local businesses but are also well versed in working with businesses further afield – from the West Country through to Liverpool.
Everyone looks for and deserves the best quality website. There are talented and skilled web designers all over the world but taking the time to appreciate local professionals around you brings rewarding relationships to everyone.
