Website & Graphic Designers Combine Talents and Broaden Horizons ...Web Design & Development Website designers and graphic artists are a dime a dozen in today's saturated market. Many larger Tampa website design firms cannot offer most small businesses affordable hosting, website design and web development solutions yet, the designers who CAN offer affordable solutions, usually don't retain the staff that larger firms do. This naturally places limits on accepting and managing client "volume." Often, independent (freelance) website and graphic designers are a "one man (or woman) show...This has many benefits as well as downfalls, but it does affect the bottom line of the client. The clients of independent designers don't absorb any staffing expenses, which is one reason why independent (freelance) website designers can keep their client's costs to a minimum. Still there are certain challenges facing independent designers such as marketing, selling, maintaining financials while keeping abreast of new techniques and innovation while offering excellent customer service to new and existing clients. Bay Area Graphics & Marketing frequently works together with other talented website and graphic designers around the Tampa area as well as in Germany. Combining talents and manpower to offer clients the best service without having to raise prices is a win win combination. It's sort of like a referral based project yet, there are no fees involved for the designers---If a partner in Germany lands a job that is better suited for our company, then they refer it to us and vice-versa. Honesty and commitment goes a long way with this arrangement but-- with careful planning it can be a very beneficial arrangement. Accommodating various languages play a big role in this as well. If I have a client who speaks little English, then working together with a firm who is multi-lingual allows for more flexibility. If a company can accommodate a potential client in some way it will only benefit the potential for referrals. Often, independent designers have to turn down work if they just can't accommodate a client's deadline, lacking the manpower needed. Instead of loosing a client altogether freelancers should consider working together with other design firms and design firms who are able to broaden the horizons of a talented freelancer should do so!
