Frequently Asked Questions

DesignWorks has been creating award-winning websites for Northwest Arkansas businesses since 1994, giving us over three decades of experience in web design, hosting, and digital marketing. We've watched the internet evolve from basic HTML sites to sophisticated web applications, and we've adapted our services to meet the changing needs of local businesses.

Over the years, we've built hundreds of websites for clients throughout Fayetteville, Rogers, Bentonville, and Springdale - from small local shops to large corporations. We've seen trends come and go, algorithm updates reshape search rankings, and technology transform how people interact with websites. This deep experience gives us unique insights into what works and what doesn't in our regional market.

Our longevity in the industry means we have established relationships with local businesses, understand the unique challenges of the Northwest Arkansas market, and have a proven track record of delivering results. Many of our clients have been with us for over a decade, trusting us to continuously improve and maintain their online presence. View our portfolio to see some of our recent work.

While we're based in Northwest Arkansas and specialize in the local market, we work with clients nationwide. Our core expertise lies in understanding the Fayetteville, Rogers, Bentonville, and Springdale business landscape, but the beauty of web design is that location isn't a barrier.

We've successfully completed projects for clients inthoughout the region in places like -  Little Rock, Memphis, Tulsa, Kansas City, and other cities across the United States like Colorado, Tennessee, South Carolina and more. Our remote collaboration process is streamlined and efficient - we use video conferencing, screen sharing, cloud-based project management tools, and regular communication to ensure out-of-area clients receive the same high-quality service as our local customers.

That said, our deep roots in Northwest Arkansas give us special insight into this market. We understand local search behavior, regional competition, and the unique characteristics of businesses in this area. For local clients, we offer the added benefit of in-person meetings when needed. Whether you're down the street or across the country, we're committed to delivering exceptional results. Contact us to discuss your project regardless of your location.

We work with a diverse range of businesses across multiple industries, from small local shops to large corporations, government entities, and professional services. Our portfolio includes real estate companies, manufacturing firms, municipal government websites, engineering companies, healthcare providers, retail businesses, and non-profit organizations.

Some of our most notable projects include sophisticated real estate search engines for brokerages, official government websites for cities like Rogers, Lowell and Avoca, Arkansas, industrial websites for manufacturing companies like Carson Engineering an Peppersource, and professional services sites for law firms, accounting practices, and consultants. We've also built e-commerce sites, restaurant websites, and custom web applications with advanced functionality.

What all our clients have in common is a need for professional, high-performing websites that drive real business results. We don't specialize in just one industry—instead, we focus on understanding each client's unique needs, target audience, and competitive landscape to create customized solutions. Whether you're a startup or an established business looking to modernize your web presence, we have the experience to help. Explore our portfolio to see the breadth of our work.

For Northwest Arkansas clients, we're happy to meet in person for project kickoffs, strategy sessions, or any point where face-to-face discussion would be beneficial. Being local means we can sit down with you at your office, meet at a coffee shop, or host you at our location - whatever works best for your schedule and preference.

That said, most of our client communication happens remotely through email, phone calls, and video conferencing even for local clients. This approach is often more efficient, allowing us to share screens, review designs in real-time, and keep projects moving forward without scheduling conflicts. We've perfected our remote collaboration process to be just as effective as in-person meetings, with the added convenience of fitting into busy schedules.

Many clients appreciate the flexibility of both options - starting with an in-person meeting to establish rapport and discuss the project vision, then handling most of the ongoing work remotely for efficiency. We adapt to your communication preferences and work style. Reach out to schedule an initial consultation, whether in person or via video call.
