On a quick surf across the internet, you\u2019ll find dozens of websites offering web development and coding services for prices beyond imagination \u2013 for less than you pay the lady who cleans your office. Do things even out in the end, is the vast price difference explained by the gulf in income levels, or are the budget avenues too good to be true?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about it for a moment. If you can outsource your web projects<\/a> to India, East Europe, and other places where the labor is cheap and get the same job done for $5 to $10 per hour, then how in the world is it possible that those of us, whose charges are in the mid-range or above, are still in the business, alive and well?<\/em><\/strong> There has to be something to the old \u201cget what you pay for\u201d adage. Similar services tend to assume similar price ranges on a global market eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the appeal of getting the work done up to six to eight times cheaper than you would in the West may be ideal for those on tight budgets \u2013 or just hopeless cheapskates! \u2013 There are several pros and cons to consider in assessing whether it\u2019s worth the endeavor.<\/strong> Let me outline some of the possible scenarios you may end up in your quest for a website if you\u2019re out looking for a coder on your own. I\u2019ve witnessed myself or heard others relate to me in most of the scenarios below. There are, no doubt, a dozen more that are equally fascinating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
