How do you bring website development costs down? As I
mentioned in another post, it is important to first identify which areas of
website development to outsource and which to retain in house. Once this is
identified, the next step would be to begin a tender process – submitting the
proposed requirements to a few vendors who are able to agree to your terms.
Once a developer is chosen, it is essential to agree on the
timeframes for the completion/testing and the monetary penalties that might be
incurred it they are not met. Before any work begins, it is also important to
agree and stipulate who owns the intellectual property of the website. Most of
the time, it is important to negotiate for the owner to own the intellectual
property of the website so that any future updates can still be carried out
regardless of changes in the developer.
