Web design company: how to choose one, and what we do

A good web design company gives you a written scope, a fixed price and a named person who answers for the result. OWL & GOATS designs and builds websites as a fixed-price first project from $2,500 (12,900 MAD in Morocco), delivered in 2–3 weeks, with a founder replying to every request within one business day.

What to check when you choose a web design company

  • A written scope next to the price

    Pages, features, languages and who writes the content, on paper. A price without a scope is a guess, and the gap is paid later.

  • Work you can open

    Ask for live sites, not screenshots. Open them on your phone and check how fast they load and how easy it is to get in touch.

  • Who you will talk to

    Know who answers for the result and who you call after launch. A sales contact who disappears after signing is a warning sign.

  • Ownership

    The domain, the hosting account, the site and its content should be in your name. Ask what happens if you leave.

  • Being found after launch

    A site nobody finds does not bring work. Check that titles, speed, structured data and AI search visibility are part of the build.

  • Support and changes

    Updates, backups and security, and the cost of a change after launch. Get the answers before you sign, not after.

Your three options

  • A website builder you run yourself

    Cheapest to start and fine for a simple page. You pay with your time, and growing beyond the template gets harder.

  • A freelancer

    Flexible and often affordable. Design, build, content and support depend on one person and their availability.

  • A web design company

    Design, development, content and support in one team, with a fixed quote and a site you own. Costs more than a freelancer at the start.

How we work

  1. 1 You describe what you need

    In one sentence, on our quote form or on WhatsApp.

  2. 2 A founder replies with a fixed quote

    Within one business day, with the pages, features and languages written down.

  3. 3 We design and build it

    A first project is delivered in 2–3 weeks, reviewed by a founder before launch.

  4. 4 You decide what comes next

    Stop there, or continue on a monthly plan; the first project is then credited in full.

Questions to ask any web design company

  • Is the price fixed, and what exactly does it include?
  • Who owns the domain, the hosting and the site?
  • Who writes the content and supplies the photos?
  • What do updates, backups and security cost after launch?
  • How will the site be found on Google and in AI assistants?

Example we built: Naba Realty

Questions

How much does a web design company charge?

With OWL & GOATS, a website starts as a fixed-price first project from $2,500 (12,900 MAD in Morocco), delivered in 2–3 weeks. Larger builds such as a web app or an online store get a firm written quote after a short scoping call.

How do I choose a web design company?

Ask for a written scope next to a fixed price, open live sites they built on your phone, check who answers for the result, and make sure the domain and the site will be in your name.

What is the difference between a web design company and a web development company?

Design decides how the site looks and reads; development makes it work: forms, bookings, payments, integrations. We do both in one team, so nothing falls between two providers.

Do you work with businesses near me?

We are a US company with a distributed team serving MENA, Europe and the US. We work by video call, email and WhatsApp, in English, French and Arabic.

Do I own the website?

Yes. The domain, the site and its content are yours. You are not renting a template.

Do I have to pay every month?

No. The first project is a one-off fixed price. Monthly Growth Partner plans are optional, month to month, and can be paused.

Can you redesign my existing website?

Yes. A redesign can be a first project: we keep what works, rebuild what does not, and keep your existing addresses so you do not lose your search visibility.
