Have pm'd you

I've wanted to say this for a while:

Getting a website made is like buying a car, you can have a Rover Metro or a Lambo.
You can get a website for a few quid, or a few thousand. It really depends what you need it to do.

Feel free to shoot me a PM with your requirements and I'll have a closer look for you.

Ditto for GFO... PM your requirements, and also a budget too

Thanks

There are too many so called 'web designers' who install a template, edit some text then sell sites of for a couple of hundred quid, they maybe cheap but you have to be careful with them. If you need any additional functionality adding to the site at a later date you may struggle because it's likely that your 'web designer' will be unable to code properly.

Finding a company who can work with you to develop your site around your needs is your best bet, it may cost a little more but will be worth it in the long run. When we are working with a client we try and look for ways to improve their workflow and increase turnover and customer base through web based solutions that add real value.

Contact me if you want to know more.

Cheers, Rob.

Hi Mike
I agree with the points above however I would certainly look for someone local to you first so that you can meet them face to face. Try searching Google for 'web designer in your town'. That way you will firstly find out whether they are any good at SEO, and then you can check out their site . Always ask to see other sites they've done and Google those too. Make sure they understand exactly what you expect from your website and if it's a brand new venture I would also suggest that they are able to host the site and that any domain name is registered to you and not them! Also make sure that you will own the rights to the site files.

Hope that helps
Martin

Hi Mike,

I would suggest you to post your complete requirement on the forum itself instead of sending multiple pm's. There would be a healthy competition between the website designers/developers over here and you might get the best deal out of it.

cheers

Sent you a PM.

If you could give your budget it would help identify the type of quality you're looking for.

Hi Mark
Just wanted to put a vote in for Mattcrane - he's doing a small php scrit job for me currently and managed to fix a niggling problem with a webform very quickly and without fuss and at a reasonable price.

All will depend on your budget. And the kind of style/design you're after. Most designers/companies here will be able to deliver. But the quality would be the question. Your budget influences the results. A best requirement description would be to list your budget and maybe a few website samples for the kind of quality you're after

Personally I would suggest you head over to 99designs.com and create a contest there from around £250. You'll get many professional designs for you to choose from and award the winner, make sure to make it guarantee and leave comments or ratings regularly to get attention from the best designers. Then find a professional coder or company to turn the design to scripts. That shouldn't cost you a lot, not more that £200 if it's regularly scripting. But I think your project will cost less.

I can't imagine the quality of a £100 website. If you're after a really good unique quality website with a professional design to much the subject, be ready to spend over £400. Why spend £200 when you could add £200 for something that's unique and and will last long without the need for more redesigns etc. If you're after web 2.0 style designs then I'm available, but I'm really expensive.

With all due respect, how does seeing someone's budget give you any idea about the quality they're looking for? Surely the budget is there because that's the amount of money the company/person can afford to realistically throw at getting a website designed.

How can you justify that a budget of X is quantitative for quality Y?

I think it's a good idea for the customer to decide what his budget is and then see what he can get for his money. Most of it's negotiable anyway and it saves playing cat and mouse that wastes everyones time. Nobody is going to want to write an extensive proposal if the budget is a couple of hundred quid but they might if it's a couple of grand.

There's usually a lot more scope than just throwing up a couple of web pages.

The quote totally depends on what module you need on your website .
waht are your needs , please share it with us.

I must have things backwards then. I would never let a designer or any software developer know my budget before giving them a detailed outline of what I require. That would almost certainly just result in the designer coming in at around the budget price for the work.

Some sort of requirements specification would be good before anyone talks finance?
