How Cheap is too Cheap for Web Design?

Every company is keen to establish an effective online presence nowadays and spending as little as possible in the process is always a bonus. But how cheap is too cheap? Is it possible to spend so little on your shiny new website that it ends up doing more harm than good? We are going to consider this question, along with some associated ones, below.

Do You Have Unrealistic Expectations?

For small business owners with no background in web design, it can be very difficult to know just how much to spend on a new website. On the one hand, money is often tight in the early days but on the other hand, sometimes you really do need to speculate to accumulate. To establish whether your expectations are unrealistic, ask yourself the following questions before you agree to hire a firm to design your new site:

  • How Much Experience Do They Have? - An inexperienced team may not necessarily do a bad job of designing your website but they could easily underestimate the costs involved and quote you a price that is too low. If this were to happen, they may struggle to complete the work in question.

  • Have You Considered How Much Work Is Involved? - You don't need to be a programming expert to realise that a complex site with lots of dynamically created content and flashy graphics will be harder to develop than one that contains just a few static pages of information. If you are not sure how much work creating the type of website you desire will involve, you can make an indirect approach to design firms through an intermediary organisation such as IWDRO. By doing so, you will be able to get a very good idea of how much a realistic budget for your new site should be and avoid wasting valuable time approaching firms with unrealistic expectations of what they can achieve for the money you are willing to spend.

  • Does the Price Sound too Good to Be True? - If you are quoted a price that really does sound too good to be true, that's probably because it is. While it is not difficult to find excellent web design deals if you shop around, you can safely dismiss any figures you are quoted that are so low, not even an enthusiastic school leaver would consider taking on the job for that amount.

There is obviously a great deal of subjectivity involved when trying to decide how cheap is too cheap but we hope the points above have at least given you some food for thought.
