If you need a website designer or web administrator, what should you look for?
Of course this person must have relevant skills and experience, but what else should you look for? Here is a quick list of things to think about when looking for a website vendor:
- Communication
- They should live in the same time zone / hemisphere
- Are they real - you should be able to talk to them over the phone (be wary of email or IM only contractors)
- Do the speak your language fluently
- your native tongue
- the language of business and opportunity
- The price is too good to be true
- Off shore is cheap. Buy it and you'll get a cheap site
- Will they do a half-way job and ask for more money to finish?
- SEO knowledge is a must
- Technical Skills (meta tags, Google Analytics, key word placement)
- Web Skill
- Content Management system vs hand coding
- CSS (consistent look and feel)
- Integration to add-on functionality
- Stay away from "hand coders"
- there are too many good CMS tools out there today
- If they hand code your site, you are stuck with them forever
The wold of web design is filled with off shore "We'll do your site for $30" type businesses. You'll find the old adage is true, "you get what you pay for."
