Cheap web site design in Russia, India or Asia? We can beat any offshore website designer's quotation you get from agencies offering cheap websites built abroad.

Cheap Web Site Design in UK or India, Russia and Asia?

You may have seen an increasing number of "cheap website design" or "Offshore Web Design" adverts from companies based in the UK and the west who are using "cheap" website designers in offshore countries with a much lower cost of living than ours. They will use this in their adverts, stressing that "overheads" are lower abroad but what they really mean is that these people earn much less than we in the West do. As a result they will tell you that they can produce offshore website design packages at rates much cheaper than this can be done here in the UK.

This claim does not really stand up to scrutiny. As well as the actual web design work, these offshore agencies must pay for their UK based marketing front and, as you will no doubt be aware, business advertising is not cheap. They must also provide an expensive communication network to the affordable or "cheap website design" countries that they use.

As a freelance web designer my overheads are very low. Apart from my business cards, my only advertising outlay is this website, which obviously I created myself. I can easily compete with these "cheap web design companies" and I can prove this to you. In doing so I would actually recommend that you get a formal, SMALL BUSINESS WEBSITE DESIGN QUOTATION from one or more of these offshore design companies first.

If I cannot beat their quote by at least 10% I will advise you accordingly and you can then be assured that you really have got a good deal. In these circumstances I will also provide you with free advice on how to get the best from the company you choose at no charge. (I have never had to do this yet!)

Offshore Web Designers' Skills

Please note that there is no suggestion that offshore or cheap web designers are any less skilled than anyone else. You may experience some language and communication difficulties with offshore designers. They may not understand the vernacular but they are capable of producing work at a standard equal to that you will get anywhere else.

Advice - Offshore Web Designer's Use of Images

We are hearing more and more from people who have recruited offshore web designers to build there websites and who have later been invoiced by large imaging companies like Corbis and Getty for the use of images whose copyright has been infringed. Typically these invoices are from £1000 to £2000 and they can invoice you for several hundred pounds for the unauthorised use of a single small image on your website.

Unfortunately it is not uncommon for offshore designers, and it must be said, UK web designers, to use unauthorised images. When this happens the owner of the website is responsible, not the web designer. So, if you are using a web designer, offshore or local, you should insist on a written guarantee that any images they supply are legally obtained.

Cheap Website Design?

If you see adverts inviting you to have your website designed offshore have a look at the small print. Some Offshore Web design agencies in the UK and USA will tell you that using cheap foreign labour means that you can have a cheap website.

Unfortunately it does not always turn out this way. A company in the UK or in the USA that uses cheap labour from abroad still has to make western profits. They still have overheads and some of these are unique to this type of operation. The cost of your offshore sourced website will seldom be much cheaper than if you had got it built locally.
