Do they design Content Management Systems?

A content management system (CMS) is needed for your website. Otherwise, you will need a developer every now and then to make the necessary updates. Secondly, Google loves them. They were built for content marketing, one of the leading ways to effectively market your business. If the agency proposes static HTML, RUN!!! They should NOT RECOMMEND STATIC HTML. They should also know how to create responsive websites. Essentially, a responsive design will allow your message to be received the way you intended it to be. Responsive web design is not just a trend. It is essential if you want your website, to be optimized for every device, from small phones to the biggest desktops.
