There are lots of website solutions provider companies and
their cost structure is always different. Some companies are charging hourly
basis and others have project based pricing. And this pricing structure makes a
client confused because some companies are charging high and some are less.
And yes it is a matter to get confused; building a website
is like building a home, which will be renovated after some time. The biggest
question comes to seller’s mind is which is the best party to hire.
How to hire a company-
There are many start-ups providing website services and may
be they do not have company portfolio however they have great experience of
building, designing the site and some have a list of portfolio. Startups are
not bad at all but there may be some organizational problem come across the
project. Big organization always charge more money, for example a small
organization or start up will do a simple website in WordPress within $10 to
$15 per hour, on the other hand a big company will charge $25 to $35 per hour
or even more. So why is there a huge
difference in the cost? Here is answer , a big company have several employees
such as a dedicated project manager, a designer, a senior developer, junior
developer or may be trainees along with them overheads, there expenditures and
many things..... Which is why they charge this much. In the same case a small
company has a developer cum project manager, a designer, no more expenditure,
no more overheads and YES they work with fewer margins too.
When you are approaching a website development company project ask them for below mentioned
information-
1-
Company size- it should be more than 15+ employee,
does not matter if they have only 2 developers with skillset you are looking
for.
2-
Portfolio-
Work done by company or individual employees will help you to judge the
qualification
3-
Price- Ask a minimum hourly price which will
make you sure if it is within your budget
Provider must understand about your project
If you go for hourly based pricing, your company will give
you an estimation of total hours for example a simple wordpress site will take
80 hours to complete but sometime it get exceed because of more requirement or
company could not understood the requirement clearly, same comes for fixed
priced job as well. So when you are hiring a company see if they are addressing
your entire requirement at initial negotiation stage so that later they will
work on project without any dispute.
Website designing companies use to share a requirement
specification document to client before starting the project which is also a
kind of contract which means Provider Company will execute all whatever mentioned
in the document and after approval of
client they start work on it.
So it is all up to your pre research about your project and
second is your budget, your research will allow you to understand the service
provider if they are eligible to execute your project as you want and budget
will make you sure to give it to a best provider who can consult you very well.
