Web Designing
? Check this points
Now that you have finally decided
that you need a website and have also zeroed in on the company
will create a web design for your company, do pay attention
to the following points. Make sure you get the following in
order to have the best web design for your business.
1. Quantity does not matter
While at first it might sound important, but its a trivial
issue whether the web designer that you have hored has designed
10 or 1000 websites in the past. What really matters is that
the web designing company should design your website as per
your linkings and the guidelines. without exception, every
web designer should offer their clients atleast 4 samples
of web designto be selected from. Once you get atleast 4 samples,
you can select any of them so that you have a clear idea of
how your web design would look like.
2. Do not Pay by Hour
There are many foxy web design companies, who quote for web
designing on per hour basis. Beware of those companies ! That
is because you will never have an idea of the work to be done
and the number of hours it will take to get completed. It
is as simple as saying that you will taken for wild ride.
The web design will cost you something that you have never
imagined. Always ask for a flat fee based quotation irrespective
of the number of hours it will take to complete the web designing.
3. Do not pay by pages
Yet again, some unethical web designing companies try to coax
you by their reasoning for quoting on number of pages in web
designing. Again, you will never have an idea on the number
of pages it will require to put all your content on the website.
And since web design industry is not standardised you will
also never come to know what size is being referred to when
per page is mentioned. At the end, you will end up paying
more, although the damage would be les as considered with
paying by hour. Still you will end up paying more than you
have imagined. Get a flat fee based quotation irrespective
of the number of pages for web designing.
4. Maintenance
Make sure that you know who will handle the maintenance of
your web designs. Will they web designer maintain the website
or you will have to take care of the same. Usually 1 year
maintenance contracts are included with the web designing
quotation. But make sure that you claer this out with the
web designer. The maintenance will include all things that
you need to change, add, edit or delet on your website ranging
into any number of changes and any number of pages, the only
thing that you cannot change would be the web design and structure
of the website.
5. Website Completion date
You must try and get the website designing completion date
in writing from the web designer. This will make it easier
for you as well as the web designer and allow the design process
to go much faster. It's not professional to say "design
a website for me" and expect the web designer to makea
website design for you. You have to be involved at each step
of web designing and provide all the relevant details and
content as and when necessary to the web designer. This will
help the web designer to complete your work on time. The faster
you approve the work done by the web designer the better.
Usually it should not take more than 20 days for a web designer
to finish the web designing for your company. If you do not
have a website completion date ---- most probably your work
will go on & on, with the web designer putting the onus
on you.
6. Be Original !
Make sure that the web designers designs an original web design
for your company. Usually web designers have a stock of various
designs and images in their database and most of them just
copy and paste from other websites, so what you get is patch
work and not anything original. Make sure you work with the
web designer on every aspect of web designing and get an original
work of art from him.
7. Flexibility !
While the website designing is in progress, make en effort
to understand the process in details. take in whatever knowledge
that yuo can. Also make sure that the website is flexible
and can incorporate any changes that may come in the future
with minimum of hassles. Changes might include addition or
deletion of content, images, products & services. What
are the options if you wish to update your website. Frequent
updating of website and the content is a sure shot way to
bring more visitors to your website.
8. SEO
Ask your web designer at the start, if they are going to optimize
your website or not ? If not, than probably you should look
out for a web designer will optimize your web pages. Search
Engine Optimization or web promotion will help you achieve
higher rankings on various search engines and which will birng
business for you.
9. All inclusive Quote
Does the web designing quotation provided to you cover only
web designing, or does it include domain registration and
web hosting as well ? Make usre that the web designing companies
does this for you as well. Since it will be much better to
host a website with the web designer since they are the rightones
ot know what type of web hosting will be necessary for the
web designs that have been created. It's also much better
to have domain, web hosting and web designing done through
a single source.

designing company, which provides services like domain
