4 Major Mistakes People Make While Choosing A Web Development Company
Did you know there are more than 1.5 websites on the World Wide Web today?
Do you know how many of these 1.5 billion are active currently? Less than 200 million.
It will be redundant to emphasize the importance of website during this digital era. But,
having a website presence and having an engaging website makes the difference of night and day! Not all websites have that flair to hold a user’s attention glued to the screen, while they are landed there. It takes a person 10 seconds on an average to decide - if they want to stay or leave the particular site. So, here are some points for you to keep in mind, while choosing your next web development agency.
- The expertise of the web development team: If you are going to work with a website development team, it is going to be a long term project with too much time and money investment from your side. Hence, make sure to check the credibility of their developers as well as get detailed information about the technology they have worked on - in past projects.
- Check the team’s approach to work: Some web development team directly starts with coding for the website right from the word ‘go’. As impressive their fast approach is, this is not the right way to go about it. A company needs to know certain things to start working on any project like who are the target audience of the client, the design or UI/UX factors etc. If a company discuss this with the client beforehand, it should be considered as a red flag on their competence.
- Hiring a company with incomplete knowledge: As much as SEO is a different field and comes under digital marketing, a web developer should be aware of the technical aspects of it. Any web content - images or texts needs to be optimised to rank higher once the site goes live. If the team is not well-versed with the ins and outs of this aspect, then it is not going to work well for the client in the long run. If the developer has a good knowledge about the SEO, he can do wonders for the website against its competitors to get initial traffic as soon as its launched.
- Going for economical services: As a budget-driven company, most brands will want to settle for the least costing company for the project. But, a company should know - not to take it as a deciding factor and also keep an eye on the quality of the work they have provided so far and are promising - going forward. Once in a blue moon, there is a chance of good quality work from a cheap website development company. But, that is a very rare case - as mostly it’s seen: The lower the price, the lower the quality of work.
These were some of the many factors to be taken into consideration while looking for a website development company.
