Cost Effective Website Development

Simplified Project Management

Face it, local web developers charge an arm and a leg. And then we've all heard about how cheap programmers are in some third-world countries. The problem is that for most projects outsourcing creates a massive headache and often costs more.

Let me take away your headache AND assure you lower production costs.

Do you have a plan?

Where most outsource projects fail is because they do not have a decent functional specification to define the requirements. You cannot expect to hand off a project to a team overseas only describing your requirements with a few words. You need pictures and imagination, and crystal clear needs. If you do not have a good spec yet, then please see the section on Website Functional Specifications Development

Deliverables and Milestones

Web development costs are mostly based on the required deliverables and milestones. Most credible web design shops will create a list of deliverables and milestones specific to your requirements, and attach an estimate for what would be required to produce the desired result.

Managed Outsourcing

I have a team of experts that I deal with off-shore on a regular basis, plus the usual open market that everyone else can tap into. I can manage your project which gives you a single point of contact locally (Canada / USA). This also enables you to fully enjoy the cost savings of outsourcing without the headaches.

Cheaper Hourly Rates

We have to accept that there are a few trade-offs to obtaining cheaper rates by outsourcing. However if managed properly, most projects can still enjoy a significant savings. Most good local developers charge $100-$250 per hour and most good outsourced programmers can be obtained for $30-$50. (yes there are some available for $10, but they're not very good).

Here is a comparison of an average e-commerce project, a website with shopping cart.

	Locally developed			Regular Outsourcing			Managed Outsourcing
	Hours	Avg Rate	Cost	Hours	Avg Rate	Cost	Hours	Avg Rate	Cost
Writing Specs	5	150	750	5	150	750	20	150	3000
Management	10	150	1500	10	150	1500	20	150	3000
Programming	120	150	18000	320	50	18000	120	50	6000
Total Cost			$22500			$20250			$12000

From this example we can see that Managed Outsourcing has an almost 50% savings over local development or regular outsourcing.
