What is better? US based web design firm or an overseas web design firm?

There are many factors why companies and individuals initially choose to go with an overseas web development firm, but sooner or later eventually they will see the advantages of having a US based team.

Overseas pros

  • Cost effective.

Overseas cons

  • They are not held responsible for incomplete work and you have no recourse.
  • They can disappear and never be herd of again.
  • Language barriers can cause miscommunication which may delay work.
  • No BBB.
  • No copyright protection.
  • No intellectual property rights enforcement.
  • No consumer rights.
  • Usually their customer support is only via email.
  • If they do have a phone number be aware you will call long distance and you will incur a high phone bill.

So remember, when you pay a little bit more for a U.S. based web design company you are getting a lot in return.
