It’s not enough to have a website that looks good — it also needs to function correctly. That’s why web development is so important to every company, even brand-new startups.

If you’re only concerned with the design of your website and not the functionality, you won’t be as successful at attracting new users to your site.

Without a strong user experience, it’ll become difficult for your site to be found online since search engines reference user experience when generating search results.

A web developer firm can help your business improve the user experience of its site, which can lead to more traffic, online sales, and phone calls.

The trouble, however, is that finding website development companies takes time. You have to spend hours researching, reading, and calling — time that you don’t have to spare.

That’s why we did the hard work for you, compiling a list of the top web development agencies in the industry. See which companies made the cut now!

Top Web Development Companies of 2024

Your website needs to function as well as it looks, and the only way to do that is with quality web development. These 30 agencies are the best web development companies in the industry today!

  • "Working with the team at Digi Tech has been nothing short of amazing! Over the years, we've collaborated with an array of different agencies and it's been a mix bag for sure. A lot of times, agencies want to have all the creative control, tell you what to do, and really minimize your creative input. But with the crew at Digi Tech it was the polar opposite. They really respected and appreciated our input and trusted us implicitly with their client and the creative direction we wanted to go with the video production. They were involved in the process to provide guidance and support to make sure we're all headed in the right direction but they were never over-bearing. It's been a fantastic experience and we're all looking forward to collaborating together and creating great content and results for our clients."
  • "Great company with incredible results. I can't recommend Darryl and his team enough. Their web design services are beyond compare."
  • "Darryl and team have been such an asset to our organization. I work with Darryl multiple times throughout the week and he shows each and every time that he sees us as a priority client. Outside of that, the work that Digitech has provided us has opened up so many doors in creating business growth opportunities because of their knowledge of our field. Most other companies I have worked with in the past require a lot of micromanagement and education to get what I needed done. Digitech doesn't. They come through every single time without having to be asked to work harder or change strategy. That what I need in a vendor"

These are the 30 best web development firms in the industry. They’re all distinguished by excellent customer satisfaction ratings, and the functionality they program into their clients’ websites speaks for itself. If you have big dreams for your business’s online presence, these agencies are the ones you should call.



What does a web development agency do?

A web development company will ensure that your website is functional and easy for users so that it can rank highly in Google. Top web development companies will handle a variety of projects, from developing responsive sites to building custom apps to improving page speed.

Essentially, web development firms make your life easier.

Why hire a website developer company?

Choosing to hire a website developer company gives your business several benefits, including:

  • Save time: Partnering with a top web development firm saves you and your organization time. You don’t have to worry about finding and hiring an in-house developer or preventing in-house web development teams from becoming overwhelmed and behind on projects.
  • Meet deadlines: Internal development projects can encounter delays fast and, eventually, get paused. Working with one of the top website development companies, however, allows your business to complete development projects on time and get value from those projects, like attracting new clients.
  • Access experts: The best web development firms feature top talent. Work with one of these agencies, and you can access some of the best developers, without the high hiring costs that would come with bringing a developer of this caliber in-house. When you have top talent on your team, you can also take on more complex development projects — and knock them out.

Without the best web development behind your website, your business’s online presence simply won’t be as strong as it could. That’s why it’s worthwhile to hire a top web development firm. They can help you save time, meet deadlines, and get the expert advice you’ve always wanted.

How to find the best web development company for your business

Looking at a list of the top 30 best web development companies can be slightly overwhelming – mostly because you may wonder how you’ll ever decide on the perfect one to fit your company’s needs.

Here are a few tips when deciding what web development company is right for you:



1. Location

If you prefer meeting in person with your web developer, you’ll definitely want to consider their location in relation to your business.

If your website development firm doesn’t operate close enough to travel to you comfortably, you may want to consider a development company that’s closer.

That way, you can meet in-person, and talk about your development ideas over coffee.

If meeting in person doesn’t bother you, the location won’t be an issue.

Keep in mind that it’s not necessary to speak in-person with your web developer agency to create a great, lasting relationship, but some businesses do prefer it!


2. Budget

Budget is one of the most important things to consider when choosing the best web development company for you.

Plain and simple, you should never pick a development company that is over budget.

It’ll only burden your own business financially, and there are options out there that will fit your budget. You should start by making a list of your top 5 development companies.

Then write down how much each charge for the services you need, and order them from least to greatest.

This will give you a visual of how much you’ll be spending on any one company, and it’ll also help you to create a realistic budget for the services that you’re asking for.

You should immediately cross out any website developer companies that are too high for your budget.


3. Culture/personality

One of the most important things about choosing a web development company is making sure that your company meshes well with their representatives and their goals.

You should decide on a company only after chatting with them on the phone to decipher whether you’d make a good fit as one of their clients.

They should make it obvious that their clients come first and that your development goals are also their goals. They should also offer you peace of mind for whatever project you have in mind.

You should get off the phone feeling confident that this web developer company can accomplish your goals, and if not – they aren’t the web development company for you.

Though there are lots of other ways to determine whether a development company is right for you, these three are some of the most important.


FAQs about web development

How is web development different from web design?

Web development is a serious consideration for any company that’s taking their business online.

Web development entails lots of different ideas, especially functionality, user experience, and overall appearance.

That’s what makes it so different from web design in general — web development focuses on creating function instead of form. That’s not to say web developers can’t also design. On the contrary, developers are often also part designer. But the main point you want to hit when you’re working with a developer is the function.

What are some examples of web development projects?

Some of the most popular web developer functions have included cost calculators, interactive quizzes, and similar custom-made tools. But you can also enjoy intuitive menu designs, fast-loading pages, social media integration, conversion rate optimization, and so much more.

Developers play a role in all of that, and they can help you achieve some of your wildest dreams for your business all on your website.

Due to the scope of most web development projects, it’s important to hire a top web development company. A top-level company can help your business finish its project on schedule with zero hiccups, which will make everyone at your business happy.

Find the best web development agency for your business

Before you hire a partner web development agency, it’s in your best interest to do some homework and learn about development as a whole. It’s also smart to go into a potential partnership with a list of the goals you want to accomplish. What do you want your company to do with this new developer partner? And, more importantly, can your partner actually do it?

Then, you can sit down and consult with a potential web development firm to figure out whether you’d be a good fit together. If you’re not, that’s okay — there are lots of other options out there. And if you are, then you may have just found a website development company that can help your business grow like you’ve never seen before.
