At first glance it seems that developing a website using your own resources is much cheaper than outsourcing any third party for the same task. Sometimes it happens to be so, but often if you estimate all hidden costs of the DIY variant and consider price/quality ratio of the result, you will most likely be surprised and change your mind. Let’s see why outsourcing web development is a good idea.

Costs

Outsourcing for web development is cheaper than creating a website within your own company.

Just imagine how much will it cost for your company to find and hire new stuff (a minimum set of a developer, designer and SEO/marketing specialist) and then pay salaries, benefits and taxes to all the specialists hired. These costs will lay down on you every single month.

When hiring new employees you can be up to 100% sure that they will either ask for big money from the very start or appear not to be trained enough to be able to create what you want them to create right away. The second variant implies that you may need to add extra money to send the employees to some special training courses to get the result. And are you sure you will need all those specialists once your website is online? Think twice.

Besides, make sure to understand clearly that website development is impossible without hardware and software. Good hardware and software can be quite expensive… And you’ll have to buy it for your employees.

When it comes to outsourcing, you are paying for the result. You won’t need to worry about allocating money to salaries and taxes, dealing with sick leaves or additional trainings for your stuff. You will know the sum due to be paid that is unlikely to change a lot and all of a sudden drain your budget with some hidden costs which may be quite true when you decide to create your own web development department. Let’s admit that just hiring a specialist in this field will cost you around $50 000 a year. Outsource allows you to get the whole team for less money.

Time

Outsourcing for web development will most probably save you time.

Developing a website for your business on your own will definitely take time. Much more time than you can imagine at first, unless you already have a great team of professional web developers in your company. If you don’t, as you already know you’ll need to find people that will be suitable for the task and give them a period of time to adapt to work in your company. Then you’ll need to either find time to manage the whole process on your own or assign it to one of your employees. Both variants create additional pressure and end up stealing valuable time in favor of controlling web development process. And it won’t be that relatively quick procedure when you need to pay your attention only occasionally, creating a website within your own company will require great involvement. Do you really want to steal hours from the things that are in your direct area of expertise and invest time in the web development sphere?

By giving the task to outsource web development you will save time and reduce inefficient workload on yourself and your employees. Furthermore, by choosing outsource solution you can start with web development right away. Give the task, approve the variants offered, answer questions from time to time and get the result. Meanwhile you will save plenty of time for important tasks you are good at.
