What to look for in an internet company...

Cost: A flat rate to design, implement and market your site. Do not be persuaded into hourly contracts. If a company can not give a firm cost on developing your site it is because they either do not know their business well enough or they are farming out the work to other specialists. By paying an hourly rate you are paying for a companies trouble shooting time and any online delays that may be incurred publishing your site. In general terms, it's just good business to know exactly what you are spending.

Technology: Make sure your web development company makes use of the latest in web development tools such as: CSS, jQuery, PHP, SQL, MySQL, Java, animation, video, audio, photography, plus many more.

Marketing: Having an attractive web site is only half the picture. Make sure your web development company has a comprehensive marketing package. A good package will include:

• Guaranteed top search engine placement
• Registering your site with all the major search engines
• Establishing links with other sites of interest
• Locating internet malls and other shopping networks
• Establishing an optimized places page on Google
• Social Media strategy and implementation.
  

Once again, a marketing package should be included as a flat rate or part of the total package.

Maintenance: A reasonable maintenance plan should be provided for review. A plan that will allow you to grow with your site, make enhancements or add products and will not cost you a high hourly rate.
