Cheap Web Site Design in India, Russia and Asia?

More and more sites, adverts and emails seem to turning up everyday advertising "Offshore Web Design" and adverts from companies based in the UK and the west who are using "cheap" website developers in offshore countries such as India and Russia with a much lower cost of living than ours.

These companies will use these adverts stressing that "overheads" are lower abroad but what they really mean is that these people earn much less than we in the west do. As a result they will tell you that they can produce offshore website design packages at rates much cheaper than this can be done here in the UK.

However, as well as the web design work these companies must pay for their UK based marketing front and, as you will no doubt be aware, business advertising is not cheap.

At 1stChoicePromotions because we are a small freelance web design company based in the UK our overheads are fairly low. Apart from business cards, our main advertising outlay is this website, which obviously we created and maintain ourselves and keep optimised for the search engines.

This enables us to compete with these "cheap web design companies" and I can prove this to you. In doing so here at 1st Choice Promotions we would actually recommend that you get a formal, SMALL BUSINESS WEBSITE DESIGN QUOTATION from one or more of these offshore design companies first and send us a copy.

If we cannot beat their quote by at least 10% we will advise you accordingly and you can then be assured that you really have got a good deal for the work requested. Under these circumstances we will provide you with some free advice on what to look out for and what to check such as Search Engine optimisation tactics and ensuring they do not spam the search engines at no charge.

Offshore Web Designers' Skills

Please note that there is no suggestion that offshore web designers are any less skilled than anyone else. You may experience some language and communication difficulties with offshore designers and even making payment to them could be a problem as some of these Countries do not use things like Paypal so you have to try egold or western union which can work out expensive. These are all things to consider before you mabrk on your project.
