You have made a good decision if you are planning to hire an Offshore WordPress developer for your small business website. A small business often has capital restrictions and what better way to deal with that fix than hiring an offshore WordPress developer who can give you what you want at a remarkable price. If you have read my previous blog then you know how advantageous an offshore WordPress developer can be for building your small business website and where to look for such talent.
Even if you haven’t read my last blog, you must be aware of the present scenario. The IT industry relies heavily on outsourcing and when you are strictly looking for mix of quality and budget. The search automatically narrows down to India, the top country on the list of best countries for outsourcing for more than a decade.
Your real struggle is about to begin now. A country with a vast workforce of 400 million and around 31 million in IT sector alone. A vast cesspool of service providers might become too overwhelming for you. The secret to sieve down through layers and find the right choice is a systematic approach to find the offshore WordPress developer. The first thing you must know is what to look for.
What to look for in your Offshore WordPress Developer
First start with making your own list of requirements and goals. Work out what you want in your website and how you want it to be. Only when you know what you want in your website, you will be able to judge your requirement. To make your search fruitful here is what you need to look for in your offshore WordPress developer-
-
If getting the lowest cost in the market is your primary concern then there is a probability that your small business website will never see the light of the day.
-
Look for quality of work, rest assured you will find a reasonable price like here at Growth Technosoft we offer high quality WordPress website.
-
The technical know how of the technology used and the knowledge of latest market trends is of extreme importance. Check how well versed is your future partner before handing over the website.
-
Always check the work section first before looking into any details about the company. Proceed only when you are satisfied with their work quality.
-
Beware of hoaxes who offer good looking websites and can show you pretty work samples and plenty of certificates and recommendations.
-
With the help of certain tools like WordPress Theme Detector you can find out whether their work is simply a bought and customized theme or actually original. Something we boast off in our work at Growth Technosoft.
-
Avoid a superficial research about companies, always be ready to go in depth about their knowledge, experience or background and you will definitely be rewarded.
-
A good communication channel is must. Check whether they are available at their earliest convenience to talk, exchange views and timely reports on the project with you. Discuss all this prior to making a contract.
-
Check whether they have onshore offices in US or UK to ease the communication process.
-
Skills in communicating their part and understanding your problem is imperative. Choose someone who can easily understand what you want and candidly give his suggestions.
-
I’m sorry I’ve mentioned it now but trust is the key factor in any relationship. Always be sure of the level of transparency maintained. If your offshore WordPress developer can provide you regular reports of their work and empower you with monitoring their work then this service provider is quite a catch.
-
As goes for the payment, never pay upfront. Reject those who ask for it unless they have remarkable credentials or are globally renown. Talk your terms and if the payment is in checkpoints or after the completion it is safe.
-
In case of doubt talk whether they are willing to do a pilot project. There is no better fail safe than a pilot project to assess their worth.
Its a lot to absorb, I get that but consider this time used in research as the consumed in looking for the right investment. For your website is an investment which can give you unprecedented returns if made properly. Keep this in mind, whatever your final choice is going to be, it is not necessary the only correct choice available. What matters is you are satisfied with your choice.
