When choosing a potential Web Designer Perth, choose someone who will be responsible for the online success of your business. Check out his technical and business qualifications. Check if he has enough experience. Look into how far back his real-world business experience in developing e-commerce solutions goes. You don’t want to put your business in the hands of someone who does website design only as a hobby and without much experience.
Ask your prospective Web Designer Perth what online business applications he has previously developed for a business. See how this matches your requirements. Can he develop a very nice looking static brochure site with advanced functionality such as hosting, form processing capabilities, site promotion, internet business consulting services, database and content management capabilities?
Consider also if it can come with e-commerce functionality, newsletter systems, domain registration, online surveys and polls, design, user registration and authentication. Check for application development, site optimization, advertising management, site management, content syndication, logging of user activity, and the like.
Check how many are included in the price you are quoted up front and how many of these are optional extras. Compare apples for apples rather than being too subjective initially. You should always get a detailed proposal up front.
Think of long term cost and benefits. The next time you need to make a modification, check what it’s going to cost you. Your site will change as your business changes so make sure you know how you will be billed for those changes, and what the time frame for them will be.
Most people don’t think about hosting, bandwidth and maintenance costs when first creating a site but every site has this. Start making a budget for them when you start your project. Look into what these costs will be and what you will be getting from them.
Keep in mind that a cheap solution with limited features will not serve you as well as a slightly more expensive one with extensive built-in capabilities. Also, consider your personal style and preferences. Different businesses have different styles and methods so make sure you go with one that suits your personal preference.
An internet specialist who loves graphic-intensive Flash-based sites will probably develop your informative content-based solution but not as well as someone who specializes in your preferred style. Also make sure that you choose one that is good in promoting their own online presence to help you get yours up to full potential.
