The trouble with outsourcing web design to India without any experience yourself is quality control. There are a few accreditations and standards but even we do not adhere to them as they are always behind the technology!

You really need a UK based Company/person to help you with project management, or to partner you with such a project. The main issue with India is grammar.

You wish to setup a company to provide a service that you admittedly know nothing about. I think your first task is to educate yourself on the design process and to get a basic understanding of the technology.

Hi there! I am totally agree with FREQUENCY DESIGN that you should first get some knowledge about Web designing. We dont say that u become a master in web designing at least know ABC of that. If you dont want to waste money or time in learning, just go to Google and get basic knowledge.

Best of Luck.

Hello,

Most of the people correctly replied. You must know the website design process. However, if you are interested you can enter into agreement with some smaller yet creative website design company to do custom website for you. We can assure you about quality and if you are interested we can show you several reviews and positive feedback from clients.

We are already having this kind of arrangement with several companies.

Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks

I have seen big enterprise and small business projects fail with outsourcing from India for two main reasons:

1. Lack of quality control and project management skills due to insufficient knowledge and / or involvement from businesses that get outsourcing services in India; This point very much applies to you as you stated that you don

Outsourcing to India can be troublesome especially as you dont have face to face contact with any particular individual, you are better off with a local uk company who speaks the lingo, and can advise and help you with your web design.

I would think long and hard about doing this,

I would probably compare it to me starting a building company and hiring only polish people.....
I wouldn't be able to understand them and they won't be able to understand me (and I don't mean because outsourcing to India no one speaks English) I mean because I wouldn't have a clue what is going on!!!

Hi

I'd get a bit of experience with web designers within the UK before you look to outsource this to India. Especially if, as you say, you don't anything about how to design websites.

Good communication is crucial in web design projects and you'd not only have to deal with the problems that often occur due to outsourcing but if you don't speak the 'technical' language, you could be prone to abuse or not very cost-effective web development.

I have had to take on a lot of work recently where people have had sites created through outsourcing in India and the outcome hasnt been up to standard.

I think you should learn about the industry yourself first before you even think of outsourcing something you dont understand.

Good luck.

You should contact them and ask about the team size, office locations, some major clients and projects. You should prefer a business who is already working with another web design company as an outsourcing partner and verify this on a phone call.

As for team size, its a little difficult to verify.

Office Location, you can try to figure out if this is a residential address or commercial address by locating this on Google Maps or by making a few searches to find if the place is more known for homes or offices. This can also give you hints about being a legitimate business or freelancer.

I am a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist in . NET Framework & Web Applications and I am also freelancer from INDIA.

Recently I have also started an IT Firm "Web Sparks Global" and if you are also interested to do the same in UK then please go through the below mentioned points that are very essential for your business:-

1) As you are going to provide IT services to others you must have your own website with a logo.
2) Corporate broucher & business cards are also important as it helps and impress alot in client meetings.
3) For your own company craete simple HTML (static) website don't go for dynamic website because HTML sites are more search engines friendly.

Besides these things you just need a laptop/computer with internet.

Why hire me?
The benefits of hiring a freelance website team are many;
