Web Development FAQ
What is important to look for in a development firm?
First and foremost, you want to look at a firms' ability to create well designed website s and Software. As a rule, it's good to keep in mind that Web Design Firms must be good in multiple technologies, rather than simply creating flat web pages. Among graphic artists in particular, there is a tendency to create slow loading technology specific pages.
While these pages look well for that 2% of the browsing population that are using IE 5 on a Mac, this type of product might be less than conducive to your needs. These designers can usually be spotted by the conspicuous absence of technical specifics on their website s. Your website is often the first impression and image your company puts out. If you visit a Design Firm's website , and there is no mention of the technologies they intend to use, be careful.
It is also important to remember that while search engines are a reality of the Internet landscape, they are not the be all and end all of Internet marketing. Companies that put too much emphasis on "SEO" and "Search Engine Placement" can be risky. Google, actively screens and bans website s that use under handed tactics to get higher rankings in it's index. Hiring a company to do "Placement" can result in your business being permanently and irretrievably banned from Google, and other search engines.
