Reference Check Your New Web Developers BEFORE You Hire Them

How can you get a better website?

You can learn plenty from others, including how to manage your part of the web development process to get the best results you can.

It’s easy to get caught up in high-tech sales hype. Checking references first can save you plenty of money, time and grief from making a potentially bad selection decision.

This is often linked to what psychologists call Cognitive Dissonance.   “People want their expectations to meet reality”. “A person will avoid situations or information sources that give rise to feelings of uneasiness, or dissonance”. (Wikipedia).

Check your references BEFORE you make a decision. It’s too late afterwards…

You can use this Reference Checking guide to help you ask the right questions.  And here are more  smarter tools and resources to help you plan your new website.
