Web Development Guide
Who?
The first point to ponder is who will be doing the work? Specifically, you need to nail down what kind of shop will do the work. There are several basic options
- Private developers – are defined by a single person performing all the work on the project.
Pros: Generally very cost effective
Cons: Often times development is a sideline job. Often lack a degree or significant work experience. Usually develop at night or weekends which creates a communication barrier. Get what you pay for relating to design skills or custom programming.
- Overseas Development Teams – operate in other countries, typically India, China or Russia.
Pros: Extremely cost effective, proficient in basic projects
Cons: ½ day or more time gap, huge communication barrier, no recourse if the project doesn’t meet contract requirements, lack of advanced technology skills, not up to date on cutting edge methods for style, design or strategy, culture gap in relation to American marketing.
- Large Corporation – are massive companies that handle accounts for fortune 500 companies and deal with large development budgets
Pros: Highly skilled, stunning work
Cons: Extremely expensive, hard to connect with and be seen as a quality client unless you are a giant corporation, often focus on a specific style resulting in degrees of inflexibility
