2) Web designers will probably have a clearer and better understanding of how a web site works user experience as well as search engine optimization skills which may be lacking if you go with a graphic design company.
3) We designers may offer you something in the way of social media add ones and current web trends which a graphic design studio may be aware of but may not know how we to integrate it in to their site architecture. Plus a web company will be able to assist you in the process of site architecture and mapping out your navigation.
