1. There are so many Web developers out there
in India. What should I look for when making my decision?
How do I know which one I can trust on ?
The most important thing you should look for is a
company with an extensive and diverse portfolio of
work and references. Make sure the company has the
staff and resources to complete a project similar
to yours. Review the company's portfolio to get a
feel for its quality of work and level of experience.
As you will see by browsing our Web site, our portfolio,
client list and references are extremely strong.
Secondly, make sure the company's designers and programmers
work under a project manager. Utilizing a project
manager ensures your project will be completed on
time and within budget. Many designers and programmers
are good at their specific trade but are not experienced
enough to efficiently manage and organize an entire
project. Also, a project manager will serve as the
single point of contact on your project, so you will
not be shuffled around to many different people. At
web.expectrum.com,
we assign an experienced project manager to every
project. Moreover, we also assign you an administrative
contact whom you can always reach for project quotes,
additions or raising a red flag in case you feel something
can go wrong. Moreover, you will also have the contact
details of the companies' Chief Executive.
Third, make sure that the company you are working
with has adequate hardware, software and human resources
to meet the needs of your project. We believe in being
completely transparent and you can read in details
about our human resources by visiting the Custom Web Development Skill Set Matrix.
In this era of dot-com disasters, look for a company
that has been in business for at least three years
and has a stable financial record. For comparison,
we have been in business since 2001, and we have been
profitable every year.
Make sure to ask about the company's quality control
and development processes. We have well described
Custom Web Development process and offer a ninety days warranty
on all work we do.
2. Why don't I just use someone in-house
to create my Web site?
At web.expectrum.com,
we assign an entire development team to each project.
By choosing to work with us, are harnessing the knowledge
of our creative designers, programmers and marketing
professionals, as well as a management team with years
of experience on the Internet. You would have to recruit
and hire several full-time employees to match what
we offer. Why not hire us to take care of all of your
needs at once? Our staff and talent keep growing each
year. We currently employ more than 40 people, and
our resources are extensive.
Even if a company local to you can provide you such
an offer; then considering that we work at $10 - $25
per hour you will be saving almost 70% of the development
cost. There are too many companies that can do this
for you but what we offer is a commitment towards
your project and your clients.
3. There are Web design companies in my local
area. Is there a benefit to hiring a local firm?
We understand the importance of a handshake or a
hug, but we also know the power of the Internet. Our
staff is trained to develop your Web site exclusively
through phone, chat and e-mail communication. We have
a proven track record of doing so. That's why clients
from USA, UK, Canada, Sweden, Singapore, The Netherlands,
Norway and UAE have come to us when they need to get
online. With over 200 sites to our credit, chances
are we have worked with someone near you!
We have completed some of our largest projects without
ever meeting the client in person. Our staff is very
experienced in Internet-Age communication, so face-to-face
meetings often are not necessary.
Through our communication methods and our advanced
development process, we make ourselves local to you.
When we are developing your Web site, you will always
feel like we are right down the street, even though
we may be on the other side of the world!
4. How are you different ?
There have been several companies who have started
a web design business during the dot-com boom and
have perished as they failed to understand the internet.
We have made it through unscathed. That's because
we focus on helping our clients succeed online. Our
marketing team's goal isn't just getting you online,
but rather helping you establish a Web presence that
will work for your company.
We will serve as a consultant and advisor in guiding
you to create a design that will be successful. You
can pull from our extensive experience of working
on the Web to develop a site that gives you the best
results. We have the experience and expertise you
need. The fact that we have grown more than 100 percent
each year and continue to add new designers, programmers
and support staff proves it.
5. Are there flexible payment plans?
The payments with web.expectrum.com
are milestone based and are flexible. We believe in
the power of honest dealings and your sales executive
will justify the quote to you.
