When many people want a website they are not prepared to go to a Phoenix web design company and by prematurely going to a Phoenix web design company they are putting their entire project at risk. Many people aren’t sure what it is that they want built they just know they want a website. An example of this would be if you are wanting a car and only having the exterior looks in mind and not knowing what you want for the interior or engine.
This makes it very difficult for you to get that perfect car. The same thing goes for a website. It is hard for a web designer to create the website that you had in mind without knowing exactly what it is that you are looking for. Working for a Phoenix web design company it sometimes feels like people think you can read minds and we do our absolute best and will try to guide our clients and put them in the best chance to be successful but this does put your project at risk and makes it hard for a Phoenix web design company to build the website that you are dreaming about. Let’s take a look at the top risks to your website.
- Preparation – Before you go to somebody to build you a website you must be prepared. You need to determine what is the goal of the website, different pages you want on your website, design styles, functionality of different pages (what the pages are going to be designed to accomplish) etc. It is always good to find 3 to 5 website designs you like and explain to your designer why you like each one.
- Decisions – When building a website there is going to be decisions to make. You need to be able to decisive in order to keep your website on track. Every time something takes you a day or two to decide this postpones your website from being completed.
- To Many Decision Makers – We see this a lot. The more people making decisions the harder it becomes to complete your website. Everybody envisions something different for a website and usually have strong feelings about what they want. So what this creates is a lot of strong personalities fighting over the direction of the website and nothing ends up getting accomplished.
- Huge Change Requests Late in the Project – This is both time consuming and ends up costing you a lot of extra money. You don’t want to approve something then after the designer has already designed the page and has it up and running decide you want to go in the opposite direction. This possible but be prepared to pay a lot of extra money as well as delaying the launch of your website.
These are some of the more common things we see that cause delays or even keeps a business from getting off the ground. Our main goal is for a client to be as successful as possible and this cannot happen until their website is up and running.
