1. Beware the price extremes – a web site company is a business. If it doesn’t really seem to charge for its services, it wont be there later on if you need them. So, beware the FREE of LOW MONTHLY FEE web site – watch for hidden costs, long term contracts, and “DISAPPEARING” web site developers. Make sure you will get great service, good design and someone who will listen to your business needs.
2. Beware the HIGH END web site company – this usually means they start their prices at thousands of dollars. Usually, You CAN find a good developer for less than that.
3. Beware these phrases: “I am just doing this on the SIDE” or “I want to try your company out so I will do it CHEAP or FREE” –they need to be around later in order to help you with important changes..and make sure they KNOW how to develop a BUSINESS SITE – business sites are different than other types of sites.
4. Beware the TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE web deal – it usually is! Again, watch for hidden costs, long term contract, and disappearing web developers.
5. Beware the lack of any written agreement…run from “We TRUST you – we don’t need to get it in writing – GET it ALL in writing! SIGNED!
6. Beware the HUGE graphics site – many will not be able to download the pictures – you just don’t want to be the web site that freezes up their computer!
