Unlike many industries, web development can be done locally, remotely or semi-remotely.
Bohemia Website Services Ltd is an incorporated company located in Savona, BC, but
we are in North Vancouver much of the time. We travel all through the interior and North Vancouver and offer a personal touch for web development. Many of our websites are built without ever meeting the client, or with one or two meetings. Since most of the development process is quicker through email, telephone and viewing the website online, the company location really is not an issue and has very little relevance with regards to the functional, desired website.
In your case, there are three key factors to determine which option is worthwhile; local, remote, or semi-local.
1) After consultation, ask yourself, "Does the web developer seem trustworthy, honest and capable of completing my required website?". Academic and portfolio are further proof of the capabilities of the web developer. Beware, that even a company that exists next door may outsource work to a foreign worker and not tell you about it! Bohemia Website Services is very flexible and can meet you upon demand in Greater Vancouver; even though our 'no-overhead' office is located in Savona which is less than 4 hours from Vancouver.
The only potential issue arising in hiring web development elsewhere is the activity of court action; which could happen where the website was created, or the location of company office.
Since no client has ever used the following words with us; 'court', 'refund' or 'ripoff', you can be assured that our service will leave you happy. If you live in North Vancouver and would like personal attention, you can always contact us for a free consultation.
We strategically planned our company to offer some of the best rates for certified services in southwest BC by utilizing a system for which we operate with limited expenses; even less costs than competing 3rd world countries. You will find our rates competetive with many uncertified and novice programmers. With our certified head programmer being a 4th generation born BC resident from Greater Vancouver, you can be assured that we can be your smart option for your present and future web development needs.
We will enjoy your web request and you can be assured we will be in business as your needs change; unlike many companies and freelancers that cannot survive with inadequate skills and high overhead.
2) In many cases, updating websites can be done very quickly over the phone. With a Magicjack and Skype, a local number could be anywhere in the world.
3) Check the word with current clients. If the current clients are satisfied, you will probably be satisfied too. Beware that some clients may find an enquiry irritating.
