And The Award Goes To …
It's difficult to judge offshore web design companies based only on the information they provide, but the overall impression is that Alps Software Solution might be the best choice for those with an eye on the budget. Not only does the company have the most detailed information on pricing, but the prices compare well with other companies, especially when it comes to search engine optimization. The design process is also the most flexible, allowing the greatest number of mockups and changes.
If your worry is how much money you will have to part with before seeing and approving a design, then MoveYourWeb has the lowest up front deposit at 30%. That company was at the top end for web design pricing, though since not all companies gave price information this is not a fair comparison.
When it comes to SEO, CyberThink seemed to offer the most extensive ways of optimization and promotion services. However, Alps Software had the cheapest service of those that revealed their prices.
Overall Impressions
Wherever they are based, the services offered by offshore web design companies are similar, though with wide variations in pricing. With one exception, all the companies offered the choice of several designs, comply with the latest web standards and could design different versions of the site with ease. All of them communicate by email, IM, Skype or phone and stay in close contact with the client. The variations are in the range of services, time taken and cost of those services.
With all the sites, it was easy to find additional information on the services offered, though on some sites, it was evident that some content was written by people speaking English as a second language. It would make sense to keep an eye on that during the web site creation process, though all firms say they have hordes of happy clients in the US, UK and Europe. There are dozens of offshore web design firms out there, based all over the world. Our advice is to check out their references and see if you can talk to their clients for yourself. Then it will be easy to choose the right offshore web design firm.
