Judge A Web Design Agency Based On Payment Modes

When a web design company talks about how to choose a web design company, you are bound to take it with a pinch of salt. This is natural a reaction. However, there are some good agencies, along with the shady players. In this article, we will try to help you in finding a decent web design company which will cater to your exact needs. However, this article will concentrate on the payment system alone, because there are many points to be discussed which needs more than one article. So, let’s check how they charge you.

Do they offer a free initial consultation, at your or their premise? If not, why not? This is a standard practice for any agency doing web design in Bangkok. In most of the cases, they should offer a visit your office to discuss your needs in details. However, if they sound hesitant or reluctant for a meeting, you need to think twice. Why can't a professional agency meet you for a meeting?

How is their quotation worded? Does it carry some type of obligation? It shouldn't and if it does, something is not right. They should be able to give you a broad idea from the initial conversation before formally asking you for a price, on paper. This quotation should be a formal and professional document and you should check if they have mentioned your requirements in it, just like you mentioned those.

Are they asking for a complete payment before starting to work? This is not the norm and you should seriously think of another agency. Normally, in Thailand, an agency would ask for half the payment upfront and the remaining upon completion. There can be other variations but no way should you pay everything in advance. This is the norm worldwide actually.

Do they ask for a monthly payment? The major players ask for the hosting charges (the server charges) and some maintenance charges if you hand over the site maintenance duties to them. If the agency is asking for a low starting charge but a recurring monthly charge, you should question their credibility. You will spend much more in the long run if you accept this method. We strongly recommend that you should avoid these contracts. After the first year, they will ask for even more.

In the next article, we will discuss how to judge the abilities of these agencies.
