The price of cheap web development

Cheap Web Development
Everybody has a website nowadays. But those who you do not want to build one as cheap and fast as possible. There are a lot of small and large companies that feel important to invest the right time and money into something important as their web representation. However, there are always companies who decide to take the quick and cheap rout and hire a cheap web development company.
Here are the things to avoid:

1. Hiring one freelancer for a big project:
Freelance is a great way for amateurs and professionals to make money on the side, but when it comes to large projects that convey heavy graphic design, back and front end programming, search engine optimization, it cannot be taken lightly. Freelancer can promise you amazing time frames and can even give you a great deal with the cost; however, it is very hard for one person to complete a large and complicated project in a small time frame. So be careful, and ask your freelancer that you are about to hire if he can guarantee the project completion on paper.

2. Hiring a cheap company that promises and swears to complete a huge project for cheaper and faster than anybody else.
Yes, saving money is great, but believe me, we had clients that came to us after being cheated or tricked out of their money. If you do not pay with money, you usually pay for your widely extending time frame, or hidden fees and the list can go on and on.

3. Hiring a company from a third world country.
American economy is suffering enough that there are not enough business here, but people still outsource jobs across the ocean. But if that does not make you feel bad for hiring a company from a third world country to do work for the third of the actual cost, let me bring some other reasons that might change your mind.

One of the positive aspects of hiring a professional, and what even better - local company for a web development job, is the ability to meet the team yourself. Business that is done on the larger distance tends to be less successful and more time consuming. A classic example of this would be one of our current clients stuck with a serious problem concerning their website performance due to inability to reach their website provider for weeks. In the end they came to us and we had to solve their problem, which we of course did.

Another great example would be lack of skills or an outdated set of them. In this modern vibrant business of web development it is important to keep up with the progress and maintain you skill set sharp. In many cases, we had no chance but rewrite poorly written code or redo poorly developed graphic theme that was performed by the outsourcing companies or companies from the third world countries

I know that after reading this much, you probably realize that there is no way you could get a professionally done website for a reasonable amount of money and in a reasonable time. Well it is not true. There are hundreds of ethical and talented web development, graphic design and search engine optimization companies that would love to work on you projects and help you to solve your problem. All you need to do is a little bit of research, ask the right questions and give just enough information about your idea to find the right company.
