When it comes to the web site development, I don’t know a lot from a technical perspective. As a result, Ive always had to rely on others to do the work for me. This can be a challenging process as resources change and needs change as well.
When I was starting out with online marketing, a colleague mentioned that he didn’t fret too much about web development. He always seemed to have the resources he needed to get work done in a timely manner and it seemed like he was always working on his websites What I didn’t realize at the time was that he had an unlimited source of qualified developers at his disposal for around ten bucks an hour.
Here’s how you can get access to quality developers at low cost, but it all begins with a clear understanding of what work needs to be done. The best way to start is by defining the specific tasks you want accomplished. I find that the best way to do this is by opening an Excel spreadsheet and writing down each of your tasks and providing enough detail that anyone reading them will easily understand what you want done. Make sure your list is thorough and complete with all the necessary information.
Once you’ve created a complete document of what you want and what it should look like when it’s done, you’re ready to find some qualified developers to help you create what you need. The best resources that I’ve found for finding qualified developers is eLance.com and GetAFreelancer.com. Both sites cost nothing to join and give you access to developers all over the world. Not only can you find people who are qualified to do the work, but they are much more affordable than what you’re used to paying. I’ve gotten many projects done for about 30 percent of domestic quotes.
With a large number of bids to chose from you may be asking yourself how can you make sure you select the right vendor. I have a simple method you can use that isn’t right one hundred percent of the time but does work rather well. Throw out the most expensive and the least expensive bid. After doing so, look for the vendor who has done the most projects and has the highest feedback rating. Finally, look at their samples and make sure you like what they’ve done for other clients. When you find a company you’re happy with, award them the bid and your project can start.
In just a short while, you’ll be doing business with a number of companies. With each project, you learn more about the vendors you’re working with and take a liking to a few. Once you’ve found a company you really like to work with, go back to them again and again. If you want to keep the pricing competitive, bid all of your projects through eLance but be sure to send a request for bid from the company you like working with. This helps you keep costs in check while continuing to work with the company of your choice.
Finding qualified developers who can help you achieve your web site goals becomes easy through a bidding process. Working with vendors in this way can be challenging at times but the more you work with them, the more specific your instructions, and the better the results. One tip is to pay by the milestone reached. This ensures that your objectives are being met and vendors are only being paid when they perform.
