SDOC PUBLISHING CLAIMS "NO NEED FOR FOREIGN OUTSOURCING"
OF WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT
Recent news reports have shed controversy on the outsourcing
of American jobs to South Asia. While companies are trying to save money,
consumers have been shouting complaints about language and cultural
barriers, and poor service.
SDOC Publishing has pledged from its founding that none
of its designs will be outsourced to foreign companies. All website
and graphic development is reviewed and approved by the owner, Adrienne
Duncan, before being presented to the client.
"Website deployment is about communication,"
says Duncan. "If clients and developers or designers can't communicate,
the project is going to fail before it begins. SDOC keeps a tight rein
on our clients' needs and goals."
Duncan also noted that websites must often be capable
of crossing cultural barriers. "The entire world - 6 billion people
- is the potential audience for a website. Other languages and customs
must be taken into consideration when targeting that audience."
Duncan pointed out that several SDOC clients have Spanish-speaking clients,
and those websites were designed with multilingual features.
In other attempts to save money, companies will use the
cheapest Internet providers available, with free-for-the-taking graphics
and templates. The result is too often an amateur result, with intrusive
advertising that detracts from the main message. Professional website
design can be economical. According to Duncan, "If a family or
individual is posting photos and diaries for their own enjoyment, a
free template site is perfectly fine. But free website hosting presents
a very unprofessional image, with unrelated ads, popup windows, and
error messages. Professional website development can be arranged to
fit nearly every budget. There is no need for an organization or company
to settle for anything less."
SDOC Publishing, is accepting new clients for professional,
economical web solutions. Their portfolio can be viewed at www.sdocpublishing.com.
All initial consultations are free of charge and by appointment only.
