Choosing a Hong Kong Web Design Company
Every forward thinking business needs a web design in Hong Kong, or needs to re-design their existing website at some point, and so choosing a website design company is a decision that every business needs to make at one time or another. The consequences of this decision should not be underestimated. Why is that? Well, put simply, a good website will bring in more leads and sales, and a bad one will not.
So, how can a business be sure that they are making the right decision when choosing a Hong Kong web design company?
Firstly, it is important to establish what exactly is required from the website. Rather than just guessing about this issue, a business should undertake some research about their target audience. To do this a business should contact some of their existing customers and ask them a straight question - what information and features do you expect to see on our website?
Once it is known what is required, the next step is to make a shortlist of website design companies. Such a list can be made by simply searching on Google for terms such as "website design companies" or "website designer". Lots of results will be brought up, so a little time will need to be spent looking through the websites of these companies and seeing what they have to offer.
Having made a shortlist of around 5-10 website design companies, each should then be contacted and the following should be considered...
- Do they have an extensive and impressive portfolio?
- Is there a certain feel to all of the sites they have created, or are they flexible in their designs?
- Are they willing to let any of their past clients be contacted?
- How structured is their planning process?
- How soon can they start work on the project?
- How much of the work do they do themselves and how much of it do they outsource to others?
- Do they offer assistance in getting websites listed in the major search engines?
- Do they offer the setting up of a blog as part of their design packages?
- Who owns the intellectual property rights for the finished website?
- Will they maintain the website after the initial design?
- Do they charge an hourly rate or a fixed fee?
- How much payment needs to be made upfront?
- What guarantees are offered that the project will be completed on time?
The answers to these questions should be used to narrow down the shortlist to 3 or so companies, who should then be asked to give a final quote. Prices may vary significantly, but a general ball park figure for a well designed 10 page website is around $2000. Businesses should be cautious about proceeding with a company that offers to design a website for much less than that figure because the quality of the final website may be questionable.
