Hi friends! As promised, we are going to start posting a weekly tip on how to choose the right web development company.
TIP#1: Shop Prices
Though pricing isn't everything, it is still important. Do a little homework by looking at different web developers and compare their pricing for a basic 5 page informational website. Ideally, the company will have some standard pricing advertised online.
TIP#1: Shop Prices
Though pricing isn't everything, it is still important. Do a little homework by looking at different web developers and compare their pricing for a basic 5 page informational website. Ideally, the company will have some standard pricing advertised online.
If not, just call and ask. Most web developers can give at least a ballpark figure as to how much it will cost for a 5 page site – if they don’t, then that means they want to give you a sales presentation. If you aren't open to being pitched a sales presentation, then just say something along the lines of, “if you can’t give me at least a ballpark figure before meeting with you, then I’ll just go somewhere else”.
When shopping for pricing, the goal is to know how much is standard – not to find out who is the cheapest. Just like buying anything else, you get what you pay for. When prices seem too good to be true, then either they are (there may be “hidden fees” that they’re not disclosing), or the web developer is desperate (which doesn't usually render the best service).
