Building a Site Part 2 - Hiring it Out

Hiring out your website design and build is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, you’ll probably get a much nicer site than you could ever do on your own.

Probably the biggest concerns that people have with this one is price and control. So, let’s take a look at those two.

Price of Hiring a Designer

There are plenty of website design companies that could do a website for you. One thing about design and that type of work is that you will generally get what you pay for. Yes, there are those people and companies that way overcharge for the quality of work that you do, but that’s why you always look for a good portfolio before you do anything with them.

Another option is to have a freelance designer do the work for you. You can find them at either Guru.com or Elance.com. With these sites you post a job that you need done and designers that are interested in doing the work for you will bid on the job and show you a portfolio of what they’ve done in the past. Then you would hire on of them and work with them to get it done.

Contol of the Site

One mess that you can easily get into with having someone else do your site for you is losing some control of the site. What you want to avoid is the type of situation where if you need to make changes to the site you have to go through your designer to make those changes. This puts the control in their hands, not yours. This type of setup can also create a really bad lag time between when you submit the changes and when they actually get done. So if at all possible, have them create the site on a platform that you are comfortable with so you can easily edit it yourself as you need to.

I guess that we could all build our house. It is not difficult to learn how to lay bricks. But the question is would we do it. When it comes to website design, do you know what makes a good design? Will attract customers? Write text that says buy from me. Know how to get traffic coming to your website. I guess its what you want to get out of it…

I agree with you that building a website is not easy. On our previous company we do have a programmer and a designer of the site. When our programmer have decided to quit his job. We always have encounter this program especially on those times that we want to have some additional and changes on the contact information and for some of our product. Our new programmer and our designer always have this conflict. This is the reason, why I do agree with you that no other better way to have best result the way we want it to be if we will do the job by ourselves instead or it is just fine to be done with others but we should make sure that we are on their side during the work to provide assistance and to provide further instructions or corrections. Anyway, thank you for your post. It is really appreciated.
