Oklahoma Web Designer? or Con Artist?

With the Oklahoma season of storms, any Oklahoman knows that when the storms come, so do fraudulent companies that seem to come out of the woodwork, out of state roofers abound like vultures on the innocent. In the age of technology, unfortunately schemes also exist in the web design business. So many people think they can save a few bucks and use a company (or person) that they obviously have not verified. So many stories exist, that is heart-wrenching to know that people lost their hard-earned money on a Con Artist.

A few simple steps can save you pain in the long run.

LOCAL: Doing business with someone local is one of the best rules of thumb. "Local" means that you can meet with them in person and get a better feel as to whether you do actually want to business with them....

REPUTATION: Is this an established business? How long have they been in business? is this something you can verify? if so, by all means call their references and ask if they were happy with their work and performance. A professional designer or design firm will have a portfolio that you can view, as well as actual clients. If they do not have a portfolio or no clients, then that is a clear red flag.

HARD SELL: A web site shouldn't be like buying a car, you shouldn't have the hard sell by a professional sales person. Working with a professional designer means you are working with the creative person directly, not a channel of sales staff, whose only best interest is themselves.

BACKGROUND CHECK: If you feel leery or uncomfortable about a designer or design firm, then there may be a reason. Its OK to call the Better Business Bureau and verify if they are a reputable business. As well, call references provided and do a web search on the company, the last thing you want is to find yourself in a situation where a few simple steps would have saved you time and money!
