Commissioning a web project for the first time can all be a bit daunting when faced with a wall of acronyms, jargon and double-speak that can make up the world of web development. We think it’s important to demystify the process and to talk in plain English.
Here are some questions we’ve been asked in the past and some of the areas you might want to consider when hiring a web agency. Not all websites are created equal and we hope that after reading this, you’ll have a better idea for what to look out for.
Don’t underestimate the worth in finding an agency or freelancer that fits your personality: chances are you’re going to be working together for a long time. It is rare that you can have a website built and handed over to you without you requiring the developer’s services again. Some web projects never really end; there is always another round of changes and updates that need to be made.We like to get to know our clients. Some of our longest-standing ones have been working with us for more than 7 years
Beware of ‘digital’ agencies that don’t concentrate on any one field. There are a lot of marketing, design and print agencies that also make websites on the side.
We believe a team of web specialists, honing their skills every day, are best positioned to keep pace with the speed of change on the Internet.
