3. Can I know in advance EXACTLY what my website will cost?

Yes.

Any good web programmer or web-programming company will provide you with an estimate first and then a contract.

The more detail you can provide about what you want, the more accurate the estimate will be.

Should you go big or small?

—–Working with a smaller outfit can help insure you get EXACTLY what you want.

—–Working with a big outfit can SPEED UP production.  They will have sales people, design people, and programmers.

How can you know if a particular person or company will do a good job for you?  LOOK AT THE PORTFOLIO!  If you don’t like what you see, then you’re off to find someone else.

Time-Saving Tip: If you see a site you like in the portfolio, ask how much a comparable site would be!
