Top 3 Reasons Not to Outsource Web Development Overseas
February 11th, 20081. The Language Barrier - It is more difficult to communicate with non-native English speakers and get your ideas across. This can result in taking up more of your time and even development of something other than what you wanted. Spelling and grammatical errors are also common in websites developed overseas.
2. No Recourse - With a local web developer, you have avenues to address problems, such as the Better Business Bureau, State Consumer Affairs Departments, Chambers of Commerce, and the courts. With an overseas web developer, no such avenues exist.
3. Power or Internet Outages in Developing Nations - Recently, major Internet outages in Asia and the Mideast have hampered outsourcing firms in those areas. Some companies lost service to their outsourced websites and others were unable to reach their overseas developers.

What to Look for in a Web Developer
June 15th, 2007Are you looking for a web developer? Not just a web designer who has graphic skills, but a web developer who can develop custom web sites and applications for your business organization.
Here are some questions to ask:
1. What is your training, experience, and background?
Many web developers have only been in the business a brief time or don’t have significant technical experience. The founder of MCM Web Solutions has a decade of programming and website experience as well as a Master of Computer Science.
2. Will you work with me in person, or just by email or phone?
MCM prides itself on working closely with clients in whatever manner serves them best.
3. How quickly will you respond to me?
MCM responds to all inquires within one business day, a rarity in the web development business.
4. What languages do you develop your software in?
MCM primarily develops in PHP, the most widely-used web language today. It’s also open-source, which means it’s not dependent on any single company and you can view the internals of the software.
