Tip 13: Consider outsourcing the Web Design
Outsourcing the site design to the web design agency or a web designer is the most common way to develop the website. Prices vary wildly for different web design services. They may charge by hour and price the work by the level of difficulty. They may also charge a contract price for a specific work. You can get a basic website for a low cost. However, an interactive and animated website may cost more. You will need to make sure that the web design agency or the web designer is clear on your requirements before the exact web design starts.
The important issues to be discussed are as below:
- the website’s purpose (what you want your visitors to do and how it will help your business)
- the target customers, and the products & services provided by your company
- the proposed content of the website
- how the content will be organized and delivered
- how often content will be updated
- the desired look of the website
- the time scales for the web site completion
- who will update the content and how (e.g. online product catalogue)
- which computers and software the website must work on
- the budget of the website development
- the cost of the maintenance and the content updates
- copyright
- who will be in charge of the web design
