Contact AskMorris today and hire a web design Taiwan company you can trust
1. Find out exactly what 'graphics work' , programming work, functionality, and database work is included in the price. Confirm ,specifically, what the web site should look like and how it should work. Don't have false expectations! BUT ,at the same time, make sure YOU have done your research!! Don't tell a web company what you want based on the 'feeling' you wish to achieve… KNOW what you want and KNOW what you need!
2. Find out the total Monthly Costs that apply after the project is done. (most likely hosting or maintenance ) This can often add additional monthly costs. Be sure to ask:
IF
1. I keep my web site with you and/or
2. I keep my email with you and/or
3. You buy my 'domain name' and/or
4. You maintain my website;
what would my total monthly billing amount be?
3. Find out the total cost of the project in detail. You will want to make sure that you understand what is included in the total price. Be clear on what you expect should be included in the price! Don't have false expectations!
4. Make sure you are not forced to buy hosting that you don't want. Also, ask what 'transferal fees' apply. E.g. what are the charges if you move your web site away from this provider's server?
5. Ask how support & security issues are handled. This is a *critical* operational area that affects many clients and a good company should be able to tell you in great detail how they handles these kinds of issues. For instance, do they automatically notify you via e-mail or do they call you if your web site is down or if the web site has problems?
6. Do your home work and see what other clients say about that web solutions company. Ask for referrals AND talk to the referrals. Remember, the best predictor of future results is a web solution company’s current track record with the majority of its clients!
7. It is good to make comparisons on different 'web solutions' companies to get the 'best fit' in terms of your needs for pricing and functionality. BUT it is silly to compare a SOHO or a freelancer to that of a company. These two groups do not belong in the same category in both services and pricing so making comparisons between these two will only create a lose - lose situation. You will only do everyone - yourself, the web solutions company, the freelancers or SOHO's - a disservice. It is a bit like comparing oranges and apples because each entity has a different quality to offer.
