What makes a good web development company

Most agency roundups rank on revenue, headcount, or how much the agency paid to appear. None of that tells you whether the work will suit your business. A good web development company is one whose shape matches your problem — a small local specialist and a large multi-office team can both be the right pick, and choosing the wrong one costs you a year.

How we pick

01
Real presence, not a placement fee

We start from who genuinely ranks and gets reviewed for this work in this market, not who paid to be on a list.

02
What their own site actually says

We read the services, specialisms and case studies each agency publishes themselves, rather than taking a pitch at face value.

03
Fit over size

A nine-person specialist and a forty-person team can both be the right answer. We flag who each agency actually suits.

04
What is missing

No pricing on the site, no case studies, no clear specialism — we say so, rather than papering over the gaps.

What you should consider

01
Your stage, not your size

A business with nothing running yet needs foundations shipped. A business already getting results needs someone who can find the next percentage point. These are different agencies.

02
Local vs national fit

If your customers are in one city, a local specialist with local runs on the board usually beats a national generalist. If you sell everywhere, the reverse is often true.

03
How much of your own time this needs

Some engagements need your input weekly, others run mostly hands-off. Ask what they need from your side before you sign.

04
What happens after month twelve

Ask what the account looks like a year in and who owns the assets. If the answer is vague, that is the answer.
