It is really important that you have a website that can represent your business. It is an avenue for you to reach more prospective clients. However, having a website live and running requires lots of works – it needs your energy and your money.

If you want to set-up a website live on the Internet but don't know where to begin then resorting to a web design outsourcing company could be an intelligent decision to make. In fact, more and more companies are outsourcing projects today as this is cited as a good alternative to hiring expensive local web designing company – and yes, they have lots of success stories to tell.

Below are some tips aimed to guide you in the outsourcing process:

Where to outsource

There are two options in which you can outsource tasks: (1) Outsourcing locally (2) Offshore. If you really want to save then outsourcing offshore is more suitable for your needs. Countries like the Philippines, India, and China are a huge hub of skilled workers for web design and development jobs. For instance, in the Philippines, there is said to be a huge surplus of IT workers in the area making it a more competitive region for professionals and therefore an advantageous for clients as there are lots who are competing for a single position.

What resources to give when outsourcing

Tools for web design are really important so when you outsource let your worker use the appropriate tools needed Some resources that your web designer need would include the following: 1) log-in information (e.g. hosting account, online resources) 2)website content (e.g. text, images, videos) 3) web design and graphic software (e.g. Adobe Flash/Photoshop).

Per project or hire a full-time web designer

This is one of the most important decisions to make – on whether to hire a full-time worker or go for per project payment. As a general rule of thumb, going for a per project is more ideal for short-term; otherwise, hire a full-time worker.

How much money to allocate

If you want to hire a full-time outsourced worker, you can have it for as low as $725 ( that's the usual rate in the Philippines). For project-based, you can have a website up and running for as low as $300 for a 3-page website.

So that's it. The above-discussed guide has been very useful to me. Hope I have given you some useful ideas. Thanks.
