Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. We would advise any customer looking to hire a provider like us is to: come prepared, have a budget and project goals in mind, ask questions regarding your project, ask about hidden or monthly fees, do your research and get comparable quotes. We also advise people ask lots of questions about the company history, the design team and expertise of the companies you are interviewing.
Additionally, we advise people to be flexible in terms of project creativity and execution.
Look for a designer / developer that matches with your personality. Like artists, every one is a little different so don't base your decision solely on price alone.
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. SEO is not hosting - it is 2 separate things
Social Marketing - understanding that a Facebook personal page is different than a business page
Hosting is where your files for your web site are stored so people can access your site securely 24 hours a day / 7 days a week.
That an eCommerce web site cannot be built in a week or a month; that it takes patience, working together with your designer / developer and time.
Logos / Corporate Branding is more than a piece of clipart. It's your identity.
Every customer should and can have access to edit the content in your web site.
If you register a domain, then you own it. At Blu Dove Designs if we register a domain YOU own it!
Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?
A. We love to educate our prospective and current clients so that you can make informed decisions. This quarter we are going to focus on 10 questions you should ask a website designer / developer when selecting them for your website project.
1. How many years of experience do you have?
2. Do I own my website AND my domain?
3. How do you keep up with current industry trends?
4. Do you provide website backend training so I can edit my own web site?
5. How do you compare to other companies? What sets you apart from the rest?
6. Do you help with marketing of my website / SEO?
7. Do you backup your files and websites?
8. Do you offer technical support? Can I call or e-mail you if I have a problem?
9. Do you test your website in all Internet browsers?
10. Can you help me with other advertising materials I may need besides my website? Branding, business development, social marketing, photography/video production, print collateral, etc.
Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?
A. For all projects you should think about your entire advertising budget and make sure you're not pouring ALL of it into 1 project. If we know your budget we can put together a plan.
If you are wanting an eCommerce site, you need to think about your products. Each product size, shape and color is considered an individual product.
Your business plan. Make sure you have a plan to get from point A to point B. You can't just float along and expect to be a success.
Gather up all of your materials in it with your hosting, email paperwork, IT info, design ideas - things you've found that you like and anything else that might help us help you.
