Check the speed of the development company's portfolio sites. As a web site owner, it is important to remember that nearly half of your potential clients are still on dial up internet. Most business owners are on high speed so they do not even realize speed is a problem. Typically a good website will load in under 10 seconds on dial up. Under 7 seconds is preferred. Many of the "pretty" sites of the world, or those with flash animation take 45 seconds to 3 minutes on dial up internet. Now if half of your users had to wait over a minute per page to view your site, how many will stay around to buy anything?

Avoid frame sets at all costs. There are numerous reasons that frames are bad, but all you really need to know is that right in Googles webmaster guidelines, it strongly recommends against using frame sets on your site. (A frame set is easily recognized when you can scroll with one part of the page and the rest remains fixed) Watch out for email addresses. All new webmasters want their email on their website. This is a bad idea. Email addresses also present a range of problems including user email client configuration, spam, and lots leads. |
