Looking for quality, cheap web design company recommendations
-
Does anyone have any recommendations of a very cheap web design company from India or other countries where the work is also high quality?
I can project manage the development and provide a set of web standards such as to use valid code, no meta keyword tags, no flash, etc etc. I am looking for companies I can trust to perform the actual work.
The web is full of companies but examples of quality work with WordPress, Joomla and particular ecommerce platforms is very thin or non-existent. If you can share any companies which you have personal experience with, I would appreciate it.

This is a great thread. I've also tried the foreign outsource thing. It's been hit or miss. I guess my question would be what's cheap?

I have a romanian friend that is a Microsoft most Valued Professional, who is very skilled, he works quite cheap compared to US or AU prices, but not as cheap as India a good priogrammer of his standing will earn 500US a week. He is also very productive, I would like to push more work his way, but it took me a long time to find such a person and i dont want to lose him.
Really Ryan its not that easy (not saying you think it is, but i must give you the value of my exprirences), you still have to take responcibility and pick up the peices for any failiuers, then there is the comunications problems. I would go in prepared to lose and pick up the peices untill you find the right person.

I was very fair also. But got the idea they see it as a get rich scam rather then building a business partnership
I have one guy over there that does some link building for me, but even a reliable link builder was hard to find. -
Which is why I was hoping some awesome community members might share a company they worked with and can recommend. I definitely do not want to go in blind on any level

Right... and you have a huge probability of getting infringement.

Thanks for the advice Alan.
I should clarify by "cheap" I try to be very fair too. Web development work in the US is quite expensive due to a variety of factors such as cost of living, taxes, legal system, etc. I recognize many countries such as the ones you mention have some very good programmers who work for low wages. I would ideally like to work with a company or team that has experience building sites and hopefully the relationship can be a win for all involved.
My clients win because they are having quality websites built for significantly less.
The developers win because they have a new source of sales.
My company wins because we are able to create a win for clients and have developers we can work with and overcome a common challenge in the SEO industry whereby the SEO requests changes and the developer pushes back on various levels.

I have been there Ryan, you may get cheap, but i doubt you will ever get quality. You also will be battling to get cheap. I have tried to outsource work, I tried a few diffent inderviduals and companies and eventualy gave my plan away. Either the work was shocking or they tried to make enouth to retire on the one job. Eveny instauction i gave them they uped the price. If I asked for somthing be done properly they uped the price. Would not had over the work until i paid a ransom. i never got any work done i could use, I ended up doing myself or paying a friend to clean up.
If you still decide to go that way, do not pay by the hour. do not pay in advacne
but if you want people who really know their stuff look in eastern europe, bulgaria, romania very good programmers and very low wages.

New Google SERPS design - What's Changed?
Has anyone noticed any fall out from the recent redesign of SERP pages by Google? I noticed that there appears to be one less organic result "above the fold" now, so if you were possibly in third or fourth position maybe slight dip in traffic? Any noticeable shift in click through rate with the new bigger font? Also, has anyone noticed if the new design has caused any shift in best practices for on-page meta data like Title tag and description tag counts? I know the Title tag was previously driven by the pixel width of the title in Google SERPS, just curious if that has changed with this redesign.

Finding a good wordpress web developer for SEO fixes
I have gotten a good audit done of my site now it is time to get the fixes done. I have a developer I worked with for a long time that is good at coding and fixes on my site. However I am not confident in his abilities to execute some of the seo changes that need to be done. Their are some common stuff he can tackle but when it comes to GWT and proper handling of 404's and 301's and other seo tasks I am not sure if he is the right choice.Maybe due to a lack of experience of dealing with the issues I have or is just not his specialty or web devs just don't know seo...lol.... Is obvious a lot of SEO's don't make the changes themselves but leave it up to the devs to handle it their suggestions and fixes. But from my experience devs are not so well versed in seo and you have a hard time knowing if they are doing it correct or can even do it.(of course they will say they can they want your cash and i understand that ). In particular a good amount of wordpress devs claim to know seo but i find that far from the truth.Even when guided to issues some of them will often leave you disappointed. Sorry for my rant! Now to my question , obviously not many SEO's make the actual code changes themselves (how i wish i knew a one that did) are their ones out their that do? If not how do i find a good wordpress dev that can make proper seo changes and knows his stuff....example i need someone who can trouble shoot and track down some serious GWT I have and deal with some hardcore 404 & 301 issues . A lot claim to know but when push comes to shove I have been left disappointed. Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions or recommendations.

Looking for feedback on our nonprofit site
I work for a nonprofit org which of course means a low budget and paying out of pocket for things (such as training). Our current website is done by a 3rd party vendor and although it looks nice, we can't make any changes to it without paying for it. (We can only upload documents). I'm wondering if anyone in this group will give their feedback on the site in terms of SEO and recommend a platform that would be relatively easy for a small shop to manage. Our site is www.coastalcommunityfoundation.org Thanks in advance

Seo for design webinar ?
I've got no problem using google webfonts on their own, but what about using them over an image; specifically a clickable image? Its easiest to place text over an image if the image is a background image, but then the image isn't easy to make clickable. Am I missing something - this shouldn't be hard, right. Thanks!
