Here at Flexisource IT, we understand that you need a  good web development team to create a great website.

Our first Pro Tip: You can outsource your dedicated web development team with Flexisource IT! Get in touch with us today, and we will help you assemble your team from our pool of top-calibre IT talents. Outsourcing Climate in the Philippines  Before we jump right into the core of this article, let us first take stock of the outsourcing climate in the Philippines.  In simpler terms, the future of the outsourcing industry in the Philippines is looking bright. This is a bold statement, given the complications and challenges brought about by the COVID-19 global pandemic.  But, according to a 2022 report by Colliers, the archipelagic nation is poised to capture a bigger slice of the outsourcing industry’s global market pie.  This is further affirmed by the fact that there were 1.44 million full-time employees and 29.1 billion USD worth of revenue in the first half of last year, as recorded by the IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP). This is attributed to the higher confidence in remote work and the increased demand from multiple companies from around the world. Looking back, within three (3) decades, these developments showcase a significant growth spurt in the outsourcing Philippines industry.  At the turn of the century, in the year 2000, it only accounted for barely 1% of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP). Now, even during the height of the pandemic, the industry remains robust. It contributed around 7% to the economy, alluding to the country’s ability to weather the drawdowns caused by COVID-19.  Furthermore, according to the United States International Trade Administration, this upward trend will continue. Stable demand to outsource Philippines services will drive the information and communications technology (ICT) sector to grow further.  8 Tips To Outsourcing The Best Web Development Philippines’ Team With that said, the current climate shows outsourcing web development services from the Philippines is a good business move.  The country is renowned as a premier outsourcing destination across the globe. Benefits, such as affordable labour costs, make the Philippines a highly attractive option for startups, small to medium businesses (SMBs), and even well-established corporations.  So, to help you outsource the best web development Philippines’ team, here are eight (8) tips that you should always remember.  Specify project goals and requirements Before you start searching for a reputable IT outsourcing agency, you must specify your project goals and requirements. These will serve as the general parameters that will guide you later on.  In addition, having a specific list will make the search and decision-making process easier and take less time. It will also help you stay on budget and lessen the chances of being swayed to pile on additional services that you do not necessarily need at present.  Define the tech requirements With that said, you should also define the technical requirements you will need for your web development project. Here are a couple of questions to keep in mind:  How many web developers are needed to help with the project? What are the necessary skills that every member of the team should possess? Consider project long-term needs  When outsourcing, you should also carefully consider the long-term needs of the project to fully maximise your website development Philippine team.  That means, aside from considering the immediate needs of the web development project, you should look ahead and factor in the potential needs down the road. This is one way to make the most of your investment and future-proof your website.  Select a reputable outsourcing web development Philippines agency Once you are equipped with your project’s needs and requirements, searching for an outsourcing web development agency in the Philippines is a lot easier.  Plenty of outsourcing companies are available, and each has a specialisation or niche. So, finding the company relevant to your project needs is pretty straightforward.  In addition, a good rule of thumb is to opt for a well-known and reputable IT outsourcing agency. This is because they already have a proven track record and have partnered with other companies before.  Review portfolio It is strongly encouraged to also check the portfolios of the website development Philippines agencies you are considering. This enables you to get a better idea of the quality of their service and where their expertise lies, and at what level.  Check the agency’s process Once you have a better idea of the web development outsourcing companies’ domain expertise, you should also consider taking a close look at their process. This encompasses the start of your partnership, assembling your dedicated web development team, customer support, and troubleshooting capabilities.  Moreover, some IT outsourcing companies also offer a trial period. This is a way to better understand your outsourced team’s performance, process, and synergy with your in-house staff without having to commit to a partnership right away fully. Compare prices Of course, another determining factor in your decision-making process is cost.  This does not necessarily mean you should consider the labour costs and the average web developer Philippines salary. A big plus provided by outsourcing agencies is that you do not need to go into the nitty-gritty of these things.  With that said, you should compare the price of the services provided by the outsourcing agencies versus the quality of their service, timely delivery, process, and after-sales support, to name a few.  Shortlist the best web development Philippines agencies The last tip is to create a shortlist of the potential web development Philippines agencies that are best suited for your project’s needs in the short and long term.  To make it easier, you can tabulate the information each agency has shared and what you
