Earn money on offshore web design

Why offshore web design and development

How it works?

Typical plan:
·You find a client who needs a web site, ask his/her requirements for the project and send to your offshore partner company.
·The partner makes a proposal and gives you the project estimation basing on his hourly rate, for example, $10.
·You mark up the rate $10/hour as high as you wish (and can – taking into consideration competition in your region, level of demand for web design services, and other marketing factors), for example to $30/hour, and sends the proposal to the client. So if the web design project is estimated on 50 man-hours of work, you charge the customer $1500, from which $500 you pay to your offshore partner company, and $1000 is your profit.
·The partner company works on the project and delivers it to you along with copyright for the work.
·You deliver the site to the customer.

Result – you have a satisfied client and good profit from the marked up price.

How to choose the right offshore web design partner company?

There are 2 main factors that determine your choice – cost and quality of web design work.
Cost
Basing on the average web design prices in your local market and your competitive abilities you set prices that you will charge to your customers. There are several methods of web design price calculation, most used are flat price for fixed web site packages, and price based on man-hour rate. Most web design companies operate with both and choose one depending on each project type and requirements.

Then you decide which profit you want to have and narrow down your search choosing companies with appropriate price range.

Quality
Consider the company reputation, portfolio of previous works, testimonials of previous customers, level of communication. Pay attention to payment policy and method, conditions of ready projects delivery, warranties, post-development support and maintenance.

If all details are agreed you may start partnership. Sometimes the first project is quite simple to test abilities of both parties and if everything is going well the partnership will bring mutual benefits.
