Before you buy web development or web design services, you must assure to yourself that the service you are going to choose is not a scam at all. This is as vital as digging the soil before constructing a building upon it.

Similar to other industries, web design and development industry is also filled with scam companies which over-promise and under-deliver. There are many companies out there which have good search engine rankings but poor customer satisfaction record, resulting overall into web development scams. A simple insight into reputation of web development company you are going to work with can save you from wasting weeks of your time and hundreds of Dollars from your hard-earned money.

Experience:

Find out how many years of experience the company has. Especially if you are going to have a bulky website with lots of functionalities, you will need an experienced web development company that has skilled developers who can understand your business, your requirements and your target prospects.

Checkout some of the live sites done by them similar to your desired website, it will give you clear idea whether the company is suitable for your taste or not.

 

Reviews:

Usually businesses listed with Google Places have user reviews on their Google Places page which can be useful to you. Additionally, try checking out company reviews and testimonials from websites like Foursquare, Yelp, Yellowpages. Some websites also offer reviews specific for web development companies, have maximum benefit of them to verify the reputation of your chosen web development company.
