Are you in the process of looking for a partner to build your new website or redesign your existing one?
Your website is most likely the first image of your business that a potential customer will come into contact with. A quality website creates a positive first impression while the right construction dramatically improves the chances of making sales. When a store is created, we prefer the best partners to build it. The same principle applies to the creation of a website, as you need to collaborate with a digital company that will offer you the best possible results.
But how can one make the right choice of partner with so many web development companies on the market?
Understanding Business Objectives
Your website must serve some of your business needs from a website to showcase your services, to an electronic e-shop of thousands of products or even something very simple like a presentation website that is required in some NSRF program. The company you choose must be able to understand the purpose of the website you will create and be able to offer you the best solutions for you.
Request a Portfolio
A web development company’s previous works are their showcase. Through them they can highlight the quality of their work and their success stories. You, as prospective clients, by seeing past work of a company, can better understand if they are able to properly execute yours, if their aesthetics match yours and, in general, the level of their work.
Of course, don’t forget to check out existing reviews to see what previous customers think.
Precise Schedule
It is a very common phenomenon that companies take on projects that they cannot immediately implement either due to workload or lack of staff.
As a client, you should be given a clear schedule that will state the stages of construction completion, what the builder needs from you (usually the website material) and how long it will take to complete the project.
It is important to define in advance all the functions that the website will have so that no problems arise during its development.
Detailed Website Construction Cost
The cost of a website can vary and reach up to several thousand euros depending on its complexity and functions. Each company must have packages that will include the costs for everything that is required for construction.
Beyond the initial design and development costs, there are subsequent fees to consider. These are:
- Hosting: The cost of hosting your website.
- Domain: The cost of registering your site’s ending (e.g. .gr or .com)
- Support: The future support of the site.
Having taken into account all the possible costs, you will be able to budget your project and correctly evaluate the offer of the construction companies.
Choosing the right web development company
When you choose the company to build your website, you are essentially hiring a technology partner. This partner will likely be a part of your business for many years, given that you are satisfied with their services.
Spending a little extra time doing the necessary research can save you a lot of money and time from having to switch partners.
