How to Choose a Web Design Agency in Orange County (2025)

Start with goals and scope

• Define outcomes (leads, sales, bookings) and what must be launched.
• Map pages, features, integrations (CRM, booking, eCommerce).
• Decide content ownership (copy, photos) and internal stakeholders.

Questions to ask

• How will you measure success post‑launch?
• What is your approach to performance (Core Web Vitals)?
• How do you handle SEO: technical, on‑page, and content?
• What is your process and timeline? Who will be on the project?
• What happens after launch (support, improvements)?

Red flags

• Templates with no customization or UX research.
• No attention to accessibility or page speed.
• Ownership unclear for code, designs, or content.

Budget ranges

• Starter (brochure): $3k–$8k
