One of the major factors responsible for a cost blowout on website development is continually making changes and tweaks whilst the site is still under development.
Most web development companies will charge you hourly for changes made to your website, so it’s important from a cost perspective to get all the glitches, spelling mistakes and formatting ironed out before you hand it over to your web developer.
Lots of little changes add up, and can put a project significantly over budget. Even worse for businesses with marketing deadlines, it can also cause your website to be late.
When you’re approaching a web developer for a website, ensure you have the following ready:
- A high resolution/vector copy of your logo.
- Your branding materials like company tagline, colour scheme, mood/attitude of your business.
- A collection of images you’ve used in marketing collaterial or a good list of images from a stock photography website that matches your brand.
- List of the websites you love.
- List of the websites you hate.
- Copy for your website in word documents for each page.

This is SO important Nicky. A company that hires a web developer without first evaluating their branding and corporate image are bound to blow their website budget.
Inadequate materials, poor quality images and outdated branding adds time to the design and development process as the developer needs to outsource photos from stock libraries and develop a look and feel from inappropriate branding.
