  • Webdesign: Professional Freelancing?

    Recently I have been in contact with two different clients who asked me specifically about finishing the development of their website. Interesting point is that they shared the same kind of experience: their website was not finished according to the agreement they made with their first web-developer. They had asked a freelancer or small startup business to develop their website. But after paying the site was only finished up to 75% - the rest was never completed. The freelancer had to finish his studies and the startup got a bigger project. Are cheap and rapid web-designers indeed competitors or have they gained their place in professional web development?

How can outsourcing benefit my web design business?

Good web development is time-expensive, and with the high overheads and labor rates in the West, it is also cost-expensive.  Companies in other parts of the world, however, often have lower overhead costs and cheaper labor options.  So partnering makes a lot of sense.

Having a relationship with a reliable outsourcing partner can help you manage the inevitable busy times when you have more clients than you can handle.  There’s a freedom to take on extra clients, knowing that your outsourcing team will be right there with you to meet those deadlines.  The flexibility means you don’t have to hire more employees just because it’s your busy season.  It’s the perfect way to add revenue without increasing overhead costs.


Bottom line: Cost-efficiency

Outsourcing to a company in a different time zone can make the process even more efficient.  As you leave the office, the day is just getting started for the outsource team, and updates to the project are ready for you to review by the time you come into the office the next morning.  Basically, your project gets worked on around the clock.

Outsourcing allows you to focus on what you do best—whether that’s design, marketing, or drinking coffee—while the outsource team fills in the gaps.  You know your strengths and which aspects of a project make you the most money.  So why not spend more time there, and pass on those other tasks that eat your time but don’t deliver much profit?

Outsourcing makes a lot of sense for those in web design, whether for a specific project or as a long-term solution.  Cutting costs and working efficiently are benefits that both you and your clients will enjoy.
