February 16, 2007, Newsletter Issue #107: There are so many web design companies out there. How do I select the right web design company?

Tip of the Week

The most important thing you should look for is a web design company with an extensive and diverse web design portfolio. Make sure the web design company has the staff and resources to complete a project similar to yours, and seek letters of reference from past web design clients. Review the web design company´s portfolio to get a feel for its quality of work and level of experience. Also, take note if the web design company has won any awards for its Web site designs.

Secondly, make sure the web design company´s designers and programmers work under a project manager. Utilizing a project manager ensures your project will be completed on time and within budget. Many web designers and web programmers are good at their specific trade but are not experienced enough to efficiently manage and organize an entire project. Also, a project manager will serve as the single point of contact on your project, so you will not be shuffled around to many different people.

In this era of dot-com disasters, look for a web design company that has been in business for at least five years and has a stable financial record.

Make sure to ask about the web design company´s quality control and development process, and check for a written warranty on its web design work.

Finally, watch out for web design companies that subcontract work to offshore firms to save money.
