Harare Website Design

Many small business owners in Harare struggle with deciding on how to make the right choice for designing their website. They search the web for help with their website and find that the choice is harder than they thought. Currently there are (literally) millions of websites who claim to be professional web designers. However one must be careful in choosing the right person or people in which to trust their company image. In this article I will attempt to categorize web designers into manageable groups and teach the reader the difference between the types.

Web designers in Hararefall into four general categories: freelance amateur freelance professional Web Design Company Web Development Firm.

Amateur Web Designers in Harare

The majority of web designers you will come across especially searching the Internet are freelancers. That is individuals who do web design but are not employed by a web design company. Some are self-employed professionals but most of these freelancers are amateur-hobbyist types. They find a copy of FrontPage™ came with their MS Office™ Suite. They discovered how fun it could be to make web pages so they started telling their friends that they could "design" web pages.

The "pros" of using an amateur is that they are very cheap. The "cons" are too numerous to mention but Ill point out a few. They have no training; they have little knowledge of what makes a good website work; they do not understand HTML code or CSS but only FrontPage point and click; they do not understand general design and layout concepts and they have little real experience. The biggest reason they should be avoided for the serious businessperson is that their work looks amateurish which makes your company look amateurish. Who wants that?

Freelance Web designers in Harare

A professional is often defined by simply being paid. People think that if you are paid for something then you are professional. Maybe thats true in the Olympics but for the business services world you are not a professional until you are established and respected as one by your clients and peers. Freelancer professional web designers are a giant leap from the amateur in that they have established a portfolio of respectable work. They have some sort of qualified training and experience and they have credentials that can be verified by contacting references. They have a good reputation with their clients and other professionals. In general a good freelance professional web designer can be good person to have doing your site. But they are hard to distinguish from the amateur when you are just searching the web.

The upside is if you find a good one they are significantly cheaper than a web design company. But that is usually the only upside. If the budget limits you then a freelancer will do for a small project. But anything seriously important should be left to a professional company.

Some downsides to using a freelance pro are that they are usually part-time meaning they are limited in how much time they can devote to your project. They are also limited in what they can do for you. Most freelancers are specialists in one area and generalists in everything else. Some have no skills in anything except their one specialty and often you will have to find others to fill roles. In addition freelancers are not always cheap although many of them are aspiring to create their own company; some are highly sought after and charge $100 per hour or more for their work. My advice here is if you have that much to spend go with a company that has a team of professionals to get the job done in a timelier manner.
