Contrary To Popular Belief, We DO Work
by Marqeteer on Monday, March 21, 2011At the risk of tooting our own horn here (it’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it), we thought we’d take a moment to talk about what we do so whether you choose MIND for your web development and web design or already have someone you’re working with, you will have a better idea of just what it is that you pay for.
There are two main factors that are separate but have a direct impact on each other. We will call them The Two Q’s.
Quantification and Quality.
Web development and web design work is different for every client because there are so many variables involved. Does the client need a logo? Does the client have copy? Does the client have a clear vision of the image they want to project? Does the client have a clear understanding of who their target audience is? How many separate pages does the client want for their website?
And the big one…(drum roll, please)
Does the client really CARE?
That question has the most profound impact on The Two Q’s. The more a client cares, the more attention they will give to Quality…which makes Quantification a more amicable process as the client will inherently be able to better understand the work involved in bringing their vision to life.
Conversely the less a client cares, the more attention they will give to Quantification first…which leads to a more difficult process because there is usually no definite vision to start with and no understanding of the work involved…just a fear of being ripped off. This usually leads to the client making do with a cheap solution that can hurt them in the long run (i.e. hiring a college student cheap instead of a writing pro for their blog).
Now, occasionally you might get lucky with a cheap solution and get something valid and good, but more often than not you’re creating problems for yourself down the line (i.e. that cheap college student gets bored with writing for you and moves on).
You get what you pay for. Now, that doesn’t mean you have to go with the most expensive solution every time, but it does mean you have to decide what’s most important to you out of these three things:
The Best
The Fastest
The Cheapest
You can have 2 of the three, but you can never have all three. If price is your bottom line, don’t limit yourself. Find an excellent web development and web design team, share your vision, share your financial limitations and in most cases you will find yourself in a discussion about what you CAN do.
A good web development and web design team will more than likely have not only an affordable solution for you to start, but a plan to grow your website and add to it as your finances allow.
