Getting Help

Deciding whether to hire an in-house web developer, use a web design company or use an 'indie' or independent website designer need not be difficult.

The simple question you need to ask yourself is:

"What is best for my company or organisation?"


There are four ways to look after your website(s);


Here are some factors to bear in mind.

1. Do-it Yourself

Doing it yourself can be rewarding and fulfilling because it gives you the 'hands-on' experience.

It can also be challenging, especially when you want to carry out larger updates or add web-applications or complex databases.

Experience has taught us that some people are very capable and happy updating their sites themselves whereas others prefer someone to do the work for them.

Here at Tusler-Design we can help you at any level with focused training, using practical techniques that give you the confidence to manage and update your website yourself - contact us to discuss your site needs.


2. 'In-house' Web Designer

Hiring an In-house Web Designer and Developer can be ideal if you are committed to daily website maintenance and development.

This is particularly appropriate if you have a business that has an online store or provides a media service.

Everyday, sometimes many times in a day you have;

In this situation it is ideal to have someone there as a part of the team who's role is to develop, maintain and update the website constantly.

Having this person on-site has a cost implication but may be completely relevant to your company's growth, speed of response and flexibility.

Here at Tusler-Design we can help you find the right type of person for your company through our network of industry contacts so contact us today.


3. Large Web Design Company / Agency

Using a large Web Design Company / Agency can be a great solution because they have already got established procedures and code modules in place to implement for your business.

Often the large web design companies and agencies have their own servers or relationships with hosting providers to give value added services like Content Management Systems and Secure Payment Gateways at reduced rates.

As an 'independent' Tusler-Design work with a small number of Wales based agencies and hosting companies to give our clients a robust and long-lasting web related service. Contact us today and we'll explain the potential options available for your company or organisation.


4. Independent Website Designer

Independent Website Designers will have their own viewpoint on the industry and can often provide insights that larger organisations may overlook due to procedure or policy.

It can be very useful to use a freelance designer to help you gain a new perspective at any stage in your website development project. They will offer you an independent assessment of your site and its development.

As independent website designers and content creators Tusler-Design are part several networks of professionals who deliver a range of IT and web services to clients.
