In the virtual world of internet you will find many web design service providers. Are all of them competent enough to deliver on to the commitments made by them to the clients?
Usually the answer to this question is negative. The prime reason for this is that there are mainly two types of website design companies. Some are genuine while there are many that are hoax and with very limited knowledge about web designing. Placing your order with the latter type of web designer can invite financial catastrophe that can raze the business to ground.
There are web design service providers that resort to the word "free" just to gain entry into the market. One should remember that nothing come for free. Now as mentioned earlier the service provider may be genuine or fake.
What if a web design service provider is genuine and offering web design services for free?
If this is the case, the service provider may be a new entrant to the market or may have just opened a new branch in that specific locality. He/she may be offering free web design service as a part of marketing strategy. He/she may be offering those services that are commonly known and of minimal cost. Once the client or prospective client approaches these sorts of companies the service provider (if a believer in transparency) will usually and immediately clarify what services are offered free what services are billed. There are some who will not reveal this unless asked for.
Usually when the website design is being offered for free, the design will retain the right to the copy. If the client tries to being any alteration or amendment in it, it would be considered violation of the copyright act and the intellectual property act. This implies that bringing changes in the free website is very difficult.
When the free website designer come to know about the need of any changes in the web design he/she may charge exorbitant. It is in this situation that the client's happiness of getting free web design gets evaporated.
What if free web design services are offered by fake web designers?
It is usually said that nothing is bad for bad purpose and when this is the case, you stand to lose a lot of hard earned money. This could be also quoted as misuse of marketing. The fake web designer will advertise and try to publicize his/her services in the best possible attractive way. There are many who could fall prey to these kinds of swindlers. Someone has truly said that the cheated is cheated because he/she has been vulnerable to being cheated. If you double check and seek clarification of every claim made by the web designer the chances of getting cheated are very less.
There are companies that offer free web design services just in the advertisement. When you try to inquire about the free services that they offer, they will just give a vague response. You think negatively about this service provider but in fact your name and contact information have been sold to some other service provider at a hefty price. Before availing any free web design service one needs to check it thoroughly.
