What to look for when choosing a web design company?

Have you been burdened with an overpriced web design solution?

11th December 2011

Far too often DOTSER have been approached by a business that has been saddled with a poor website, which has cost an ‘arm and a leg’ and delivered little.

Despite handing over significant amounts of money, businesses have been sucked in by slick sales presentations and persuaded to hand over substantial fees for developing sub standard website solutions. Unfortunately the web design arena has been plagued with incompetent web design ‘companies’ who have promoted themselves as web design ‘experts’, following them reading a few articles online and figuring out how to set up a self build website. Sadly many businesses have been too trusting of the web design ‘cowboy’.

DOTSER recommends following a few simple checks before deciding which web design company to choose.
1. Ensure the web design company you choose have experience on actually building a website.
2. Request a list of business references on the web design company’s reliability and internet services.
3. Ask for a demonstration on how you will be able to up date your website once complete.
4. Ask to be shown some live search engine results for several current clients.
5. Ask if any of the work being done on your website design and development is being outsourced.

These are just some pointers to consider when choosing a website design company to design and develop your online presence.

Probably the most important thing to do when looking for a quality and reliable web design company is to contact DOTSER as soon as possible !
