What Should I Look for in Custom Web Design Services?

[cooperjennifer]

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to invest in custom web design services and want to make sure I choose the right provider. With so many agencies and freelancers available, it's a bit overwhelming to know what really matters.

What should I be looking for in terms of design quality, user experience, performance, and scalability? How important are things like SEO-friendly design, mobile responsiveness, and post-launch support? Also, are there any red flags I should watch out for?

I'd really appreciate any advice, best practices, or real-world experiences.

Thanks in advance!
