The Art of
Choosing the
Right Web
Development
Company
The last time you were out there to choose the
right web development company, how was the
experience like? It was not good, right? Believe
it or not, choosing the right company is an art,
one that you need to learn and possibly
develop a knack for. Who knows, with time,
you may get good at it.

Let’s start with what’s the first thing you
should look for. Any guesses? No? Okay,
here’s a simple exercise for you to find the
answer:

• If possible, visit a website that you have not seen before so
that cookies don’t play a spoilsport.
• Make sure you have a speedy internet connection; else, the
exercise doesn’t make any sense.
All said and done, you must focus on a company that can keep
the website load times to a minimum. If they develop a site that
takes more than 8 seconds to load, well, no offence, but they
haven’t heard of the 10-second rule, at least that’s how it looks.

The last thing you want is to see your website getting penalised.
For some companies, web development is all about coding –
they do it left, right and centre. Who gives two hoots about the
web standards – at least, such companies don’t. Do they have
anything to lose? You have the answer.

The developers must use an open-source CMS (WordPress,
Joomla etc.) for you to be at the helm of affairs. Only then you
can change the content, if the need be and for that matter,
update the images as well. And yes, did you know, it is also
possible for you to change the site headings? Well, now you do.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. You bet; if it wasn’t,
anyone could easily update the content or images after getting
to know a thing or two about CMS. Make sure the company you
choose, offer proper training.

Call yourself the guest of honour, if you may, but don’t forget,
it’s all about you, your business, your website. Make sure the
company keeps you in the loop throughout the development
process because only you know what may work best for your
business. If they don’t keep you involved, chances are they are
going to take you for a ride.

9. Call : 1300 760 363
Ask the company to develop a website that enhances user
(read: customer) experience. Tell them you want the customers
to stay on your website for as long as possible. In fact, given a
chance, they should come back. Customers were, are and will
be the king(s), always – for you. Make sure you and the
company are on the same page.

We have all been bullied, at some point or the other. That big guy,
who made us run around the school, snatched our lunch – just the
mention of him was enough to send shivers down our spine.
Expert 1 : We’d
incorporate a
responsive web
Design and
make it adapt to
the viewing
environment.
Expert 2 : We
are going to
use fluid grids,
flexible images
and CSS
media queries.
Blah,
Blah,
Blah…..

Add a couple from your own experience. After all, you may have
approached several companies by now. Didn’t all (okay, most!)
of them make more or less the same statements? Barring the
second example, which looks more like a company telling about
the clients served in the past, these take us to the obvious –
most of the companies either actually do or wish to undertake
big projects.

12. Call : 1300 760 363
Companies, not all of them though, often brag about
themselves. See, they may have served many prestigious
clients, but you can’t just take their word for it. You need proof
and you should ask for it. Ask for customer testimonials,
reviews, references and anything and everything minus the
confidential information.

Keep up with the times; it’s 2013 – developers have the best
technology at their disposal. Some of the companies are yet to
give up on the age-old technology they have been using for
years, but then, they are the ones that ask for more of your time
and money.

14. Call : 1300 760 363
The company quote an amount and then then you decide if you
can afford to pay that much. This is how it goes, right? Let’s say
the total amount is $50,000. Would you make the payment right
away? What if they don’t complete the work on time? Would you
then ask for a refund? Play smart; never ever pay the entire
amount in one go. Rather, ask for a milestone-based payment
plan.
