Five-Point Checklist to Find the Right Web Design and Web Development Company

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 2014

Offshoring is all the rage. From large names such as Apple, Google, and Microsoft to small enterprise firms; everyone is outsourcing work. Web design companies are not an exception.
Many businesses have been offshoring a lot of web design and development work to other countries. Transferring work to other countries has saved them money, and allowed them to focus on more complicated tasks.
Although offshoring has been a success, there still exist a lot of things that can go wrong. This article tells you how you can outsource your web design and development work successfully.
Successful outsourcing occurs when you save money without compromising on quality. Here is a five-point checklist to successful offshoring:
  • Clients

Ask about previous clients. If the web development service has worked for big names, or clients you can relate to (someone from your region, or town) you can go ahead into the discussions of your project.
  • Reputation
What do the previous clients say about the web design and development company you are in contact with? Use Google to find out. Search engines are a good start. But, do not rely on them alone. Go to LinkedIn. Visit web design forums Etc.
  • References
Nothing speaks more authoritatively about the quality of a developer or a web design and development company than people who have worked with them. Pay particular attention to what others have said. It may be relevant to your own project. If most clients have applauded the company or the developer, you are probably good to go.
  • Communication
Make sure the developers understand your concept of the website. Different time zones are another hindrance to communication. Make sure that they do not affect your project to the extent that delays and cost overruns begin to trouble you.
  • Are you asking the right questions?
Are you prepared to work with people living thousands of miles away from you and working in different time zones? This is a question you will have to ask yourself. In addition to that, it is smart to make a list of the questions you will ask the company. While making the list, make sure that you cover the basics.
The key to successful outsourcing lies in asking the right questions and working with people with authoritative references.
