We hear this all the time. “We were working with this website guy/girl/person and they said they’d have our site done by DATE. But he/she/it didn’t deliver and now we’re three months behind and not sure what to do.”

So the short answer is, “Hire a real firm.” If you really want to make an impact on your internet marketing strategy then it’s essential to work with a firm that will help you first at a strategic level. Of course, once your strategy and purpose for the website is clearly defined, the overall professional website design and functionality should be completed on time meeting all your objectives and expectations.

We acquired a recent project and this is exactly what happened. The client got a great proposal. But they never delivered. And so here was the client, literally months behind schedule and not sure what to do.

The solution is to hire a firm with a team and proven track record over one person who professes they can do a good job for you. At WealthNet, like many other firms in the business, we have a team of dedicated people who not only design well, but deliver on time, as promised in our Services Agreements. If for some unforeseen reason one of our people can’t make it work or falls behind, someone on the team will pick up the slack. Another level of reassurance you will get the job done on time and meet your expectations.

“Services Agreements? We never got one of those when our first webmaster started our project.” Ooops. Big mistake. Always get a detailed services agreement including a site map, addendum that details the deliverables, time line, fee structure, and terms that protect your intellectual property.

If you have a professional website design or optimization project and you’re not sure who to hire, be sure to hire a real firm that offers a team of professionals to help you. Make sure you get a detailed agreement and that you understand how the agreement protects you if something goes wrong.

Don’t let a webmaster wig out and leave you hanging. Working with an established firm offering you a team of people assures you of getting your project done on time. There are other considerations as well that you should discuss with your website design firm. Top search engine placement is something virtually all of our clients want. They expect the site to reflect professional copy writing. Clients can assume when working with us that their site will generate more leads. And of course, as more leads are generated, our clients expect assistance with affecting a better lead conversion rate and that our work helps them close more sales.
