Web Design Agency Shootout

Evaluating Web Design Agencies For Two Types Of Client Engagements

by Harley Manning

with Bruce D. Temkin, John P. Dalton, Nicole Belanger

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

We evaluated 17 of the largest firms that design and build consumer-facing Web sites. We graded them for two types of engagements: transaction-led (focused on maximizing conversion rates) and image-led (focused on building brands). We found that Critical Mass, AGENCY.COM, and SBI.Razorfish stood out in both categories based on exceptional user-centered design and strong creativity. R/GA also appears among the leaders, pulled into the pack on the strength of its design and its standout approach to broadband.
