Trying to build a website on your own? Do you think your organisation could benefit from the free website building tools and templates available online? They are cost and time effective, why then make a big deal about investing in a professionally designed website, and more importantly, outsourcing this requirement?

What ready to use website templates make up for in cost and time they lose out on long term vision and ROI. A well designed website involves comprehensive UX design and branding to not only draw in customers to a website in a catchy colour palette and aesthetic visual design but to bring in new leads to your business and ensure conversions.

It literally takes a village to built a successful website; UX researchers, UX designers, visual designers, developers and marketing professionals; all come together to create a good website. However not every organisation is equipped with the right kind of team or expertise to do so.

Below are a few points to elaborate why outsourcing is the smartest thing to do when you are looking to design a website that is more than just good looking:

Process and Expertise‍

Collaborating with a web design agency has the following advantages:

1. Outsourcing a project to a reputable design agency guarantees that key aspects of UX design and visual design are covered; like the creation of a style guide for your website to fit in with the overall brand identity of your company or a SEO optimized website to amp up your online ranking.

2. Access to experienced professionals who are skilled at this iterative design process can build responsive and high-performance websites incorporating best practices, latest trends and advanced technology.

3. Working with an external web design agency allows you to tap into a large and varied talent pool that can handle a multitude of projects through the diverse skills available.

4. Outsourced web design saves time. The agency spends focused time and effort on a tight timeline that ensures your work gets done swiftly and efficiently. Offshoring on the other hand allows for the project to progress continuously and get done much faster with teams working across different time zones.

5. A good web design agency can help you with website maintenance and support. They can help you determine crucial factors about your customers' behaviour like when or why they choose to leave your website or how they navigate through your site. This information can be useful when the site you want to build is more intuitive, mobile and SEO friendly.


Cost and Time Saving‍

1. Outsourcing provides you with control to bring in designers on board for projects ad hoc. It is much cheaper than maintaining an in-house design team where overheads run even when there are no live projects.
‍
2. Managing an in-house team limits the skills and resources available and the nature of projects that can be taken on. An external agency gives you the freedom to choose as per your needs on a contract or project basis to expand the resources for your project and have access to more cutting edge technology.

3. Contracts with external agencies are clear and finite which means that you don’t have to spend time hiring and training in-house designers and worry about turnover. Working with an outsourced team allows you to hire and terminate contracts easily if there is a mismatch in expectations.‍

‍Focus ‍

1. Working with an outsourced web design team adds to scalability, flexibility and profitability in business. You can expand to bigger markets because your design team is remote and can cater to different audiences, you are not restricted by location.

2. By outsourcing, you can focus on the core competencies of your business and save bandwidth as your hand over the project responsibility to experts. You can be assured of tighter timelines, more accountability and visibility of project progress.
