Do Cheap Web Design Freelancers Offer Value For Money?
Author: Sean P Redfearn
As the internet keeps on growing and growing, so do the number of web design companies and web designers.
In today's market trying to compete with all these new companies and freelance designers is becoming nearly impossible for long established.
The increase of all these new designers and developers is obviously driving prices down that customers are having to pay for new web site projects. Price wars break out with every new technology that hits the internet, and each individual has to re-think the way they market themselves and their software, to try and win new projects and customers which they need to grow their businesses and essentially pay the bills.
But are all these new web companies and freelancers offering a quality service?
When anybody is in the market place to find a top quality web designer they should be looking for five key skills:
Web site Design Skills
Portfolio of Previous Work
Knowledge of the main scripting languages
Search Engine and Keyword Knowledge
Ability to communicate the customers wishes onto the website
Below I have outlined what each of these skills consists off.
Web Design Skills
Any good designer will be able to show you good design skills, you should be showing him or her sites that you like the look of and asking them can they create designs of a similar standard?
Portfolio of Previously Designed Sites
Once you have your shortlist of designers that you prefer to use on your project, ask to see the portfolio of work.
Knowledge of the main scripting languages
When asking any self respecting web development company what languages they understand for creating dynamic websites and bespoke applications, they should at least know the following languages: html, css, php, mysql and javascript, these are the main languages for creating websites.
Search Engine and Keyword Knowledge
What is the point having the best looking website on the internet if no one can find it, this is why we would always recommend asking them what kind of results they get on the search engines and what are the fundamental techniques for optimising a website.
The main criteria for optimising a website is make sure they use the correct keywords in the header tag and in the description tag, meta keywords do not hold as much weight as they use to but they still play a role. Once the site is optimised in the background you need to make sure that the content of the site is optimised correctly for the number of keywords to the weight of text on that page. We generally have a rule that you should fit 2 keywords into a paragraph of about two hundred and fifty words.
You should also make sure that they use h2 tags and h2 tags for the headings on the page.
They should also create an xml site map for your website and submit to google.
Ability to communicate the customers wishes onto the website
Make sure you think you can have a lasting relationship with the company or individual you choose.
So, any individual or company that is offering cheap web design may not necessarily be the best choice. To many low end websites are still being built and costing businesses and companies thousands because they end up having to pay twice.

Why does my cheap Basil Brush bulb vapouriser give me a much smaller high than my trusty bong?
I bought this cheap vapouriser for transport purposes and to attempt the healthy way of smoking, whenever I light the vapouriser, I spend long enough waiting to see anything and once it’s breathed in I get a remotely mild high. My trusty bong never lets me down and vapourisers are supposed to give a better high, any suggestions what I’m doing wrong or how to get a better high would be much appreciated, thanks for your time.
It sounds like it might be a bit cheap. My mate bought one which is pretty big and cost about £150, and it certainly did the trick when I had a go. Never used a travel sized one but, considering this one was about 12″ in diameter, I can’t see how something so small would work. Probably be better investing in a decent cooling pipe.
