Should YOU Hire a Small Web Design Company?

Any time a new project is about to start, the question comes up, who should do it?

A small business, or any business for that matter, has three basic choices – do it them self, hire a full time staff member, or hire an outside company.

First, they can choose to do it them self. I see a lot of small businesses make this decision, especially sole proprietors. They often feel that they are the only one that they can trust to get the job done right. This should be fine, assuming that they have the time, knowledge, and resources to successfully complete the project.

Second, they can choose to hire someone full time to work on the project. This makes a lot of sense if it will need to continually be managed, and/or is going to be a core part of your business.

Finally, you can hire an outside company, or individual to perform the work. If you are looking at a single project, that will not need to be constantly managed, then it may be good to bring in someone from the outside who can work on that single project to complete it in a timely manner.

An outside company, may seem expensive at first, however, when you consider you are getting someone who is already experienced in web design, owns the tools necessary to do the job well (so you don’t have to buy them), and skilled in using them, and they can start being productive immediately. Overall it usually is cheaper for you to hire someone outside your organization.

A smaller web design company be cheaper since they don’t have all of the overhead of a larger organization.
