Hello community, Me and my partner are running small company that creates modules and themes for ecommerce sites. We have a lot of clients from all around the world and usually we get quite a lot of requests on doing custom work or heavy modifications to clients stores. We have done some research and found that average level of ecommerce sites at our target geographic market is quite low and our products and expertise can greatly improve it. In addition we have faced a lot of clients who were cheated by local and offshore web developers for $X,XXX without delivering any acceptable results. For last 2 years were mostly refusing such offers in order to keep focus on developing our products and supporting them. But right now we have changed our mind and considering to offer complete package for small business. It will include both design and codding with hosting and further site elaboration. Probably we can also help with basic marketing. I do understand that such offer is not unique but i just want to know how exactly web designer business works? Is it possible to do some profit working with small business or we should focus on middle sized companies? What is the most common way of getting paid? Is that some monthly fee for developing site or usually web development companies get paid on hourly base? Our main goal is to build good relations ship with our clients and help their business to grow. We are planning to start focusing on Germany, Switzerland, UK market for now. P.S. English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes...
