What is eCommerce Web Design and eCommerce Web Development
To someone on the outside it is easy to see web design as a commodity. Web design is web design . . . right? We've heard it 100 times, even 1,000. "Please give us a quote and we'll decide from there." Implying that price is the #1 item in the decision process. And for many it is.
For the discerning businessman there is an inherent understanding that the company you choose to partner with and the depth you allow them to influence the process, both long and short term, will determine the chances you have in succeeding in any given eCommerce initiative. ECommerce Web Design and eCommerce web development are not a commodity and not all companies are created equal.
When something is considered a commodity it is thought that the product or service being considered will be consistant across providers and that price is the decision point upon which you base your purchase. Do you really think that $20,000 buys you the same thing at all web development shops? Of course you don't. We've seen situations (too many to count) where companies (using other web design companies) would have been better off not undertaking an initiative at all and occassionally the result was so counterproductive the company would have been better off burning the money instead of loosing the precious time and energy, not to mention the money.
Additionally different firm's depth of service will also play into their ability to get you to your goal. Perhaps a company being considered has a strength in design but workflow isn't their strong point. Or perhaps design and workflow are strong but marketing and partnership development is outside of their core service offering.
One thing we strive for at Nexus Media Group is to provide a service offering that will help our clients from project conception through delivery and continue to provide ongoing support services to help our client's reach their goals. Our service is not a commidity. You can't get what we can give you anywhere else. It is uniquely ours and what make use so valuable to our clients.
