Why offshore web design and development
Offshore web site design and development help to keep prices at least 3-5 times less, for example, average hourly rate of web development services in USA is $35-75; in UK – $25-50, in Ukraine – $5-20.
How it works?
Typical plan:
·You find a client who needs a web site, ask his/her requirements for the project and send to your offshore partner company.
·The partner makes a proposal and gives you the project estimation basing on his hourly rate, for example, $10.
·You mark up the rate $10/hour as high as you wish (and can – taking into consideration competition in your region, level of demand for web design services, and other marketing factors), for example to $30/hour, and sends the proposal to the client. So if the web design project is estimated on 50 man-hours of work, you charge the customer $1500, from which $500 you pay to your offshore partner company, and $1000 is your profit.
·The partner company works on the project and delivers it to you along with copyright for the work.
·You deliver the site to the customer.
Result – you have a satisfied client and good profit from the marked up price.
