85 of 219 design agencies ranked on evidence in the Q4 2026 edition.
Web design is the part of a website a visitor experiences directly: layout, typography, imagery, and how a page behaves on a phone as well as a desktop. It overlaps with web development and is often sold alongside it, but the skills are distinct — design decides what the thing should be, development makes it work.
Providers differ most in what they hand over. Some deliver a design system — components, states and rules a developer can build against — while others deliver flat mockups of a handful of pages. Ask what happens to the screens nobody drew: an error state, an empty list, a very long company name. Ask whether accessibility is part of the work or an afterthought, because retrofitting it is considerably more expensive than designing for it.
Between them, the 211 design agencies on this page cover SEO (92), web development (84), eCommerce (82) and creative (65). They also list work in London, Washington, Florida and New York. 211 of them have written a profile you can read before you get in touch.
