Does it matter how big your web site design company is? Yes, there are some factors that are affected by the size of your web design company.
The End Product
The fact is that you can have a great web site designed by a single web designer, or by a team of 10 web designers. So the quality of your web site is not necessarily affected by the size of the web design company. However, there are some other factors that may come into play.
Costs
Obviously the more personnel that are working on your web site, the more you will have to pay for the work. Every business has to pay their employees, so the more that are assigned to your project, the more you will have to pay.
Larger agencies, for example, may have multiple people working on your web site. You may have a project manager, a creative director, a few graphical designers, a multimedia specialist, and a couple of programmers. That’s a lot of labor hours that will be passed on to you, which will definitely increase your costs. Also, not all your money goes directly into building your web site, as you are also paying for overhead and project management costs.
Schedule
The schedule, or how fast a company can complete your web site, may also be affected by the number of web designers working on your web site. It’s true that a large agency has a lot of resources and can assign them to your project to shorten the timeline. However, we have also seen that agencies can get very busy, and even with all their resources, can get behind or move very slowly due to the number of clients they must support.
Smaller web design firms may be able to move more nimbly since they have less beaurocracy, and less clients to support. However, a smaller firm that does not manage their time well can also lead to schedule delays. So it is best to ask your web designer a realistic timeframe for completing your web site.
Complexity
Very complex web sites, or mission critical projects, are probably best for larger web design firms, as this usually requires quite a bit of manpower and resources.
Conclusion
It is possible to get a great web site designed by a single talented web designer, or by a larger web design firm. The issues to consider when choosing the size of your web design company are factors such as cost, schedule, and the complexity of your project.
