In July 2019, a customer Mr. Sumit Gulati came to our office. In fact, he came without any prior appointment or call. It’s not new to us as we have experienced many walk-in clients before, thanks to Google Local Business. Mr. Sumit had to walk in directly for two major causes. First, he wanted to see our usual business and judge our capacity and team strength. Secondly, he wanted to meet us face to face and create a personalized relationship. The second reason a “personalized relationship” does matter a lot because when you meet face to face, you become more responsible and committed to them.
We had a long conversation and he told us that he is working on an idea for healthcare facilities and medical tourism. He seems to be a very genuine person and he did share with us that the project he had assigned to two companies before but failed to accomplish. He neither did blamed the companies nor did he gave them a clean chit. He simply wanted to go on and try once again.
We handle such clients with extra care because they are too sensitive and insecure because they already have lost not only the advance they paid to web development companies previously but also wasted time and energy. So this experience is not a single incident but we meet more such clients more often. So the question is how do you find the best website designing company for your project?
Be Aware
We never should focus on what could go wrong but we should also not ignore it at all. We have seen very small projects failing, like a 5 pages business website. As per the reports published in znet.com 25% of projects fail due to various reasons. So let’s accept the fact and see how you can escape from being listed in those 25% clients by choosing the right website designing company for your projects.
How to Choose Right Web Designing Company
Now the question remains how to choose a website designing company that can deliver your project. You should consider the following things before assigning your project.
Do Your Homework
Even if you want to get a simple New Year pamphlet, you must have a vision of what you are looking for. The website designing company can help you with some good ideas but still, they want to listen to what you are looking for. You understand your business better than they do. You understand how to categorize your products better than they do. They are experts in website designing but you are a master of your business.
Check out few websites of your competitors and leaders in your industry and it will be very easy for you to make a rough roadmap. You can send project requirements to a few web design companies and request a proposal.
Work Experience
Don’t go by words of a salesman, just have a look at the years of experience the company has in the relevant domain. There is no shortcut to experience and experience never lies. Ask them how many years they have been in the website designing job. Even if they say ‘N’ number of years and you have doubt, don’t worry just check their official website WHOIS information. Being a website designing company, we assume that they must have started their website when the company setup. If you find any mismatch, just ask them why.
Portfolio
Never hesitate to ask the best of their projects and projects related you yours. For example, if you need an E-Commerce website, ask them to share projects they have done for E-commerce companies. Make sure they share the links of the website instead of screenshots. Visit the links they share and in fact, you will be able to grab a few new ideas for your project. In some rare cases, they might not have done projects like yours. We also face this issue many times when a client comes with a unique idea and we have no similar project in our portfolio. Then we try to show them different projects where modules similar to the projects are used.
Conclusion
There are many other various factors your you can check before assigning them project but the list above is enough to make sure that the company have capacity to handle your project. Still, project failure could be due to many other factors but this way we can minimize the risk of failure.
