What to look for when selecting an agency
Local
Use an agency that is based in Australia. Some agencies use overseas teams which make it difficult to ensure high quality.
Check their portfolio
Check the work section on the agencies website. As well as looking at the work pieces examples, click through to the website that was built and make sure it works well and is responsive.
Contact them
If they take a long time to get back to you, then it could be a sign of bad communication. Good websites are a team effort and you want open communication with your designer and development team.
UX workshops
Ask the agency if they run UX Workshops. UX workshops ensure the agency fully understand what your business goals are and who your user is. User-friendly websites are built by people of have your end user in mind.
