pitfalls - what to watch out for

There are many website developers and designers in the market. Who to choose? How much will it cost?  What will I get?. These are all common questions you should be asking yourself. 

Who to choose?

Have a look at the porfolios or showcases of recent websites that have been developed or designed. The bottom line is if they look professional and you can easily navigate around them then they most likely know what their doing. If they look homemade or are slow then the chances are yours will be to.  Have a good look at the developers website if that looks homemade or un-appealing chances are yours will to.

How much will it cost?

Website developers use different methods to create websites, and offer many different features. Make sure you are comparing apples with apples when comparing prices. Some companies charge cheap setup fees and ongoing monthly charges. Be very careful in these situations that you are well aware of what you are getting. A common trap is to offer cheap setup costs and ongoing monthly fees for web hosting and domain registration. Often in these situations you will not be able to move your website to another host if your curcumstances change. Often your website will only work on the developers servers and cannot be moved. In essence your trapped. Make sure that you will own your website and domain name, that it is transferable and there are no hidden contracts or costs. WEBNZ offers set pricing packages or will customise to your specific needs. We gaurantee there will be no hidden costs or surprises with our pricing.
