Why Choose Quad Technology?

Choosing a company to design and build your website is not an easy task. It’s not as easy as finding a plumber or an electrician because there are no format registers for the industry. Your website now forms a seriously important part of your business, customers will visit your website to make sure that you are reputable, trust is either gained or lost during this process. A website performs many other functions too, a good website will generate business, it will be found in search engine and it may become popular for offering a service that people want and need.

With this in mind it would NOT make good business sense to give your website project to a company that is not qualified to do the job. The I.T industry is full of self-taught amateurs that will baffle you with ‘tech speak’, just because someone can build a website, it does not mean that it is any good or will it perform for your business. There is competent self-taught I.T staff out there but it is a very difficult job to find them.

Another important point to consider is that creating a website is no longer about design and HTML, business acumen is more important than ever. If your website is built by a person with little business knowledge then you are simply wasting your money. It makes sense that a website should be designed and built not only with high standards but according to business needs.

There are 3 main choices in front of you and these are:

• Web designer
• Web design company

Freelance Web designer
A freelance web designer is probably one of the most cost effective ways to build a website, they will charge your for their time and you wont have to pay for many overheads. Freelance web designers tend to be more rounded when it comes to performing tasks associated to your project such as being able to create a logo for you as well as your website. They are un-restricted in their design flare and can spend longer on your website before you incur extra costs and generally they are more flexible.

All this sounds great but you also have to consider the fact that freelancers are often carry no real qualifications to suggest that they know what they are doing, the chances of them knowing the business knowledge required in today’s industry is minimal. Finding a decent one amidst all the other ones out there is a very difficult task. Freelancers are also known for their inadequate communication skills and customer service skills. You are at their beckon call and if they do a disappearing act on you then there is very little you can do about it. Sure you can take them to court but that’s not going to get your website. An age old problem associated to building websites is time, a freelancer can only work at a certain rate, and generally they will work on many projects at the same time and try to juggle them depending on what stage they are at. This causes problems for you because it usually delays your project. There are many issues with selecting a freelancer and unless they carry relevant qualifications and a proven track record is building successful websites stay clear of the rest.

Web Design Company
Again there are countless web design companies out there, generally a company will hire web designers, graphic designers and programmers. Bespoke projects may require a team working on your project instead of just one web designer. Companies obviously have more overheads and as a result you can either pay higher prices or receive a drop in the quality of your website. Remember that you pay for what you get, if you only spend a small amount of money, you cannot expect a company to throw a whole team at your project it doesn’t make business sense to spend more on resources than you charge a client.

Companies will normally allocate a ‘web designer’ to your project and you then suffer from a lot of the same issues as mentioned in the freelance web designer section. Companies however are easier to deal with in terms of customer service and reliability. They tend to have more resources and the top firms will ensure that staff are qualified which is a must in today’s industry.

What option should you take?
Whatever option you take, make sure that you have checked exactly what you are getting, its not about price its about choosing a balance between quality, customer service and price. Buying a website is not like buying a tangible commodity like a computer, there are multiple complexities such as website features, design, branding, business concepts and marketing. You may get a project manager for your project but expect to pay for these overheads and don’t expect them to be able to answer all your questions properly either, there will be a lot of ‘getting back to you’.

Ask questions about who exactly will work on your project, are they qualified, what do they know about marketing and business?
