    Experience in outsourcing to India

    I am in the midst of creating a business plan for my own web design and development company - and I am considering outsourcing a lot of the programming to India (it's very cheap compared to Australian rates) - does anyone have any experience in outsourcing to other countries?

    Any tips or pointers? Thanks!

    I would suggest have a architect here.
    Or try after being established.

    Sorry - a bit of confusion here - I'm not talking about requiring a website personally - I am talking about getting quotes in from other companies who need a site - I quote them say $10k for a shopping cart system - then I take that and outsource it to India to complete for say $5k.

    I've never outsourced a job to India before (I usually do them myself) so I was just wondering if anyone had ever done anything like this before.

    Thanks!

    Sure, people do this all the time. That's the standard set up for a web dev shop. If you can find customers who'll pay you 10k for a shopping cart, you'll make money....well, you'd have to charge more actually.

    Have you ever tried to sell high value wed dev services?
    Have you ever worked on mission critical web dev projects?

    I never outsource to India. I did a few times but the quality is pretty crap.

    Outsourcing to India, for programming and code is cheaper - they work their asses of for small $$$ but they rush things and as you are paying them cheaper to do it, genereally the coding is pretty crap.

    I tried it 2 or 3 times with 2 or 3 different guys - since then I never have outsourced anything ever to India.

    But that's the story of India - big country, can have alot of power, hard workers....but shit quality output

    Why do you think the few ones who have some standards, leave India to come to USA or UK?
