Tips: Reducing Your Web Site Development Cost

Building a web site these days is no quick and easy task. Even a simple 5-6 page HTML/CSS based site requires a lot of work and planning. If you’re not familiar with web sites you probably aren’t sure what all goes into building one. Many people expect a web site to be built out of thin air, but unfortunately that’s not possible and it is these people who usually have the biggest bill. Hopefully this post will help clients and developers like myself.

When building a website for an existing company there are certain things a developer/designer needs:

• General information about the company
• Company logos
• Pictures of the business (maybe even it’s staff)
• Content for each pages

The last one is the biggee… CONTENT. A designer can get to know a company, but it’s not always easy to tell what that company wants to say about themself. To help the designer customize the site to the client, it always helps if the client can provide pictures (at least 800×600 resolution, 72dpi), content, and logos. Not only is this extremely helpful to the designer, but this little bit of homework by the client can save him or her quite a bit of money as well.
