Picking the right web developer

Knowing how to pick the right web developer starts with knowing what you want from that web developer.

If your need is for someone to throw together a website for you quickly just to get one on the internet and then have no need for further web related services, your best bet will be to find a student or "friend of a friend" with some basic web experience and contract with them to provide something at a minimal cost.

Long-term Relationship

At Gnu Enterprises, we feel that the best way to select a web developer is to look for someone with whom you would like to develop a long-term relationship. A quality web developer, like a quality mechanic, is someone whom you should be able to go back to over time for additional services and support.

In addition, there are several qualities you should look for in your web developer.

Qualifications

Are they local and have a commitment to seeing your business succeed? Do they have the kind of business savvy and knowledge to understand how to help you create a website that can effectively promote your business? Do they keep up with current trends? Do they have prior experience? Ask to see some websites that they have done.

The only way you are going to get answers to some of these questions is to sit down face-to-face with your potential developer and determine if they are someone you can trust and with whom you can work.

Gnu Enterprises offers an initial free consult to discuss your website project and determine if we are the best resource for you. Call 719.649.3739 to set up your free consult today!

Service

What is the focus of their business? You would not ask a mechanic to fix your copier. Likewise, you would not ask someone to create and maintain your website if that is not a normal service they are committed to providing on an on-going basis.

Gnu Enterprises has been in the business of providing software solutions, including web based solutions, for nearly 30 years. We can provide the services you need for your website from start to finish.

Support

Does the business have an established track record? Are they going to be there six or twelve months from now when you need someone to make some changes to your website?

Gnu Enterprises is here to be your business partner. We are committed to providing you with the long-term services you need in order to make sure that your website grows with and is an effective tool for your business.
