Pros and Cons of Hiring a Web Design Firm or Doing it Yourself - Tips From Professional Calgary Web Design

Let's take a look at the pros and cons of building a website for yourself vs. hiring a professional web design firm to do the job for you.

1. Do it yourself(instead of hiring a web designer)

Pros:

Save the money of hiring someone else.

Learn the site inside and out, therefor being able to fix any emergencies on your own.

Cons:

Steep leanring curve. Hundreds of hours of time spent pulling out your hair and trying to wrap your head around new concepts.

Extremely unproductive. Your time could be spent on more productive tasks that lie in your strengths zone.

Lack of skill turns into shabby end-product.

2. Hire a professional web design and development firm

Pros:

Get answers to your questions on confusing aspects of the site.

Quicker production and more pollished, skilled end-product.

Save yourself the time of doing maintinance and other such work. They do it for you.

Cons:

High rates. Some design firms charge $150/hr. That's fine for developers to get rich for the years of sweat, blood and tears they put into their craft. But if it's not in the budget, it's not in the budget.

Not always getting what you asked for or being taken for a ride. Missunderstandings come from poor communication.

The Solution

Web design, in a way, is a lot like taking your car to the garage. You can do it yourself to save the money, but at the expense of your time. If you do decide to take it to a garage you might get shabby service. They might not be 100% honest with you and take you for a ride. The answer? Find a good reputable firm that has a good track record and that you have a good gut feeling about.

We have helped dozens of small businesses who felt they were being taken for a ride by their web design firm. Being overcharged, undervalued and not getting the kind of service out the investment they made. Believe us folks, it's not worth the nightmare of hiring someone who wont get the job done for you right the first time. Good service is up there with honesty and integrity. Bad service, from firm to firm, will just waste a bunch of your money. Money that could be better spent elsewhere. Do it right the first time, it will save you so much headache.After all, you're not losing budgeted money so much as you're losing profits.
