Signs You've Outgrown Your Current Web Developer

A good web developer should be able to support your business over the long term - adapting to your ongoing and changing requirements.

However, nothing lasts forever, so here are some signs to look for that you may have outgrown your current web developer and should consider selecting a new one.

They can't adapt your website to your business needs

Typically this response comes when they have used some type of templating system or framework to build your website.

They might tell you "that's the way it needs to be", or that can't be changed".

You need a web developer who can build exactly what you want in the way you want.

Your website got hacked recently

Although it's not possible to stop websites from being hacked, it's certainly possible to reduce the risk of this.

Ask them what they are going from a security perspective.

Have they built the website with security in mind? Do they install updates promptly? Do they advise on ongoing code changes to your website based on best practice in web security?

They take a long while to respond

There could be several reasons for this. However if it happens frequently and you can't wait, find out why.

It may be that their business is a 'side hussle' for them and may be the reason why their fees were lower than the competition.

Your business ideally wants to work with someone or a company who is always available during office hours.
