Software Mantra Time Or Money: What do you have?
Monday, April 19, 2010: While getting a website made there are two things that matter, Money and Time.
Before you embark on the project you should decide which one you have more of and this will help you plan the site development.
In case you have less of time you will have to pay more and vice versa.
In developing websites which deliver what you want them to deliver, you should have more time and should partner with a web development company that is ready to work with you for a long time.
You should also ensure that the company you partner with is not giving you advise based on jargons and web technology that you are not able to understand.
If all your requirements and goals about your website are clear to you the website company should be able to explain to you, in your language, how they will achieve it.
