How to find a web site developer to build you a good quality website!

There are literally thousands of companies, Oznet included, who would offer to build a website for you at prices ranging from $100 up to $1,000,000. So how do you make sense of all of this?

We offer a free initial appraisal of your needs and wants to establish suitability and budget, and naturally we recommend our services as reputable and good Sydney web designers with well over 8 years of experience.

1. You need to have a very clear idea in your own mind of why you are setting up a web site, what your business objectives are, and what you want to get out of it. These are crucial issues that require clarity from the beginning.
2. You should work out, if you can, what you think the web site will be worth to you, and therefore what you are prepared to invest to achieve these potential returns. 
3. You should also look towards the future, and try to build a longer-term relationship with a developer. If you plan to provide transactional features such as online sales further down track, you would be advised to find a developer who can help you with such features eventually. 
4. As you would do with any new supplier, try to determine if the developer has been in business for a while, and is likely to be there in a year’s time to help you with upgrades and make-overs. Your 14-year old neighbour may be a computer whiz now and can set up your initial web page today for free, but he or she may have other interests next year! 
5. You should also strive for some professionalism. Your web site will represent your company as much as street signage, letterhead or brochures, and should demonstrate a professional appearance. At the same time, don’t pay a fortune for slick, animated graphics and 3D modelling if that isn’t your normal business style. 
6. No matter how much you have invested in your website's design, it is of no use unless people can find you. People find websites on the Internet through Search Engines, predominately Google. Your website will not attract any traffic unless it becomes prominent on Search Engines.
7. To make your website prominent on Search Engines, your developer must code your site appropriately so that it can achieve a high ranking. You must demand this or your online investment will be wasted.
8. It is very difficult to be objective about what you should pay for an initial web site design. There is no minimum/maximum, some individuals or designers will set up some kind of initial web site for free. But this may not meet your needs or your requirements for professionalism as indicated above. As usual, you will get what you pay for. It depends on the quality of the work and the number of pages and components which make up the website.
9. A good website is one that attracts a lot of traffic! so make yours a great one!
10. We are always happy to give you a free appraisal of your web design, marketing and search engine optimisation strategy.
