Get a design or two?

Every other website design company is offering multiple design options to choose from. It helps in getting started quickly. Sounds impressive, but is it really so? The question is how a company can afford to present 3-4 different design options for the same website project? Isn't there a cost involved? Let us investigate the possible scenarios:

• They are presenting you with the pre built template from templatesmonster, boxedart or other such sources.
• A temptation to get the client on-board without bothering to understand the much about the project.
• Web design agency with a bunch of novice designers, hitting in the dark with a premise that the client will be happy with the given options.
• Most likely these design options are just rushed and not based on your specifications.
• Billing you way too much already to afford to do multiple drafts.

While you think you have more options, you actually have limited options. Possibly a waste of time and energy, trying to change that design to fit your needs and likes. Think about it, would you rather settle for the perfect website that reflects the soul of your business or chose from a plethora of ready made templates those were possibly used in hundreds of other websites. Obviously not! Your business is unique and you definitely want that to reflect to your customers. You can not afford to let a website misrepresent your business. As a buyer, you might think that having several options to choose from is a good thing. But isn't it better to have something designed and built per your specifications and preferences, like your tailor made suit? You will get a sense of ownership with a custom website design.

A professional website design company like VOCSO will go through the process of understanding your vision, find out who your target customers are, research a bit about your competitors, before they start designing. Their team understands and incorporates the essential elements of successful website design. You get an opportunity to peek into the green room and have a chance to order some last minute changes. This reduces so many unnecessary revisions and overheads. The result is a professionally designed website that is exactly what you needed.

Hopefully you have your facts straight now and will be able to make a better choice for your next website design project.
