1. Size does not equate to competence


People sometimes assume a company with more money Cheap Paulinho Jersey , employees, office space etc will be more capable than one with less. This is not necessarily correct. In fact much smaller businesses (or individuals) if they apply themselves intelligentlyeffectively, are often likely to be able to deliver better quality-and more personalized-services than bigger ones. My advice it that you get authentic proof of competence in form of past web design projects (website addresses) the individual or company you want to choose has handled. Go one step further Cheap Paco Alcacer Jersey , if possible and request for client contact details so as to verify the claims made.


2. Do they have a business philosophy that protects you, the client?


Customers naturally often complain about unreliable service providers -including Internet-related service providers. The ?newness? of the website concept sometimes can lead to uninitiated business owners getting less than they pay for. For instance, websites could be built with little or no effort made - by the designer - to help the owner understand how to use it to reduce advertisingmarketing expenses while increasing sales leads generation. Such costumers would subsequently lose faith in the use of websites for low cost Cheap Ousmane Dembele Jersey , high impact marketing saying ?It doesn't work!?. Ask the designer for details of what they will do for you, to help your website succeed, that others will not. Use the responses you get to compare with others you are considering - it will not be difficult to identify who is offering you the most tangible benefits.


3. What can they do to make managing your site easy and convenient for you?


Is the individual or company you are considering willing to (search for and) incorporate useful toolsresources(e.g. relevant and appropriate automation) that will equip your website to deliver the results you want at less cost Cheap Neymar JR Jersey , in less time and using less resources? Ask them for examples of useful automation they have setup on websites-and specific ones they can adapt to suit your biz needs.


Without the intelligent integration of appropriate automation on a website, the challenge of using the website to achieve increased business productivity will, over time become overwhelming. The website should make it cheaper and easier to put information about your business in front of a wider range of prospects almost effortlessly. Website automation using server-sider custom CGI(Common Gateway Interface) scripting is one of the most common and effective ways to do this. Ask your prospective web designer if she is conversant with the use of this technology - or has reliable access to someone who does. If you get a ?No? Cheap Nelson Semedo Jersey , MAKE SURE you find someone else who can take care of that aspect.


4. Do they have a web marketing strategy for you?


This is the most important one. A competent web designer must demonstrate the willingness to study(and aptitude to understand) your business - including the goals you aim to achieve. Most importantly she must be able to tell you - in simple, non-technical English - how the website can be used to further your business goals and objectives. So, ask if she has a Web Marketing Strategy in mind to enable you maximise the Returns On Your Investment in the website. If she struggles to answer Cheap Marlon Santos Jersey , be very worried.


What is a Web Marketing Strategy?


A web marketing strategy is basically a step-by-step plan(that should be developed) based on an understanding of the ultimate purpose you intend to use your website to achieve. If well conceived, it will guide you on the specific things to do - daily, weekly etc - in order to leverage your website to get the intended results.


Without a web marketing strategy Cheap Marc-Andre Ter Stegen Jersey , you will soon find yourself struggling to justify the money you have spent(and will spend) to keep your website online. I'll be a bit blunt here. Traditional methods can no longer satisfy today's business marketing needs. If you do not have a web marketing strategy, your business WILL become extinct - and that's putting it mildly too!


One of the many performance metrics currently used by serious business website owners is the Website Conversion Ratio(WCR) computed by dividing the total number of visitors to your website by the number of those visitors who eventually take action subsequently to do business with you. The WCR will vary from one websiteindustry to the other. For instance on the net a typical target WCR is about 3.0% - which means for every 100 visitors to your site, you will expect only about 3 persons to eventually do business with you.
