Who Are Atlanta’s Best Web Designers?

The dramatic skyline of downtown Atlanta, Georgia.

In a very crowded, very competitive field, here are three that stand out.

Today, web design is a buyer’s market. Talent, creativity and technical skills abound in this field, and you can choose from a plethora of worthy competitors.

Atlanta is home to many of these. There are many fine ones here, but we’d like to call out a few Atlanta web design firms we think are exceptional.

AirTight Design

As its name implies, AirTight Design strives to build solid websites that are impervious to their rather harsh environment: the volatile and ever-changing internet. The firm limits its clientele to Atlanta-area business to facilitate the development of close relationships through frequent face-to-face meetings.

That philosophy works well in a lively urban area like Atlanta, which over its long, colorful history has attracted numerous successful enterprises. AirTight Design is proud to call some of its more prominent corporate residents their clients, like CNN, AAA and Whole Foods Markets. Its focus on state-of-the-art website design, content management and online marketing, and e-commerce have made it one of our city’s finest.

352 Media Group

What began in 1997 as two college students and their high school-age partner designing simple $79-a-pop business websites to pay for school has grown over the years into an established web design and marketing firm. Its client list contains such household names as Wells Fargo Bank and the St. Petersburg Times, and it has collected dozens of ADDY Awards.

352 Media Group employs a 3-pronged philosophy. It emphasizes user-centered design, agile web development and “killer customer service.” Its seasoned teams typically put in roughly 30 hours of user research, competitive analysis and business consulting for each project. 90 percent of its creative output is approved by clients after only one or two revisions.

Red Clay Interactive

Clients like the Travel Channel, the Georgia Chamber of Commerce and Chesapeake Bank have resonated with the corporate culture at this Buford-based firm. Its eclectic team prides itself on its members’ individuality (employees describe their off-hours identities using phrases like “serial cat adopter” and “80s metal wannabe”), cutting-edge innovation and a winning blend of creativity and business know-how.

The firm’s online marketing solutions are focused on effective brand representation that results in customer engagement and excitement – and measurable ROI. The staff’s considerable expertise and creative abilities allow them to serve businesses in four distinct but related areas: strategy, design, technology and interactive marketing.

So there are a few companies to consider if you’re getting quotes for your web design project. As we have stated many times before on this site, the key to a great experience in your web design project is twofold:

-Hiring someone you can trust

-Hiring someone with the right skillset to create your perfect website

Hopefully, in your case, both these criteria will be met, and your web design creation experience will be an exceptional one!
