Outsourcing Web Development to Sri Lanka: A Guide for UK, Australian and US Businesses

Sri Lanka has a strong, English-speaking tech workforce and a time zone that overlaps with the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Australia. For many businesses, it’s a practical place to outsource web development.

Why Sri Lanka

  • Competitive pricing compared with UK, EU and Australian agencies
  • Strong English communication
  • Working hours that overlap with Europe in the afternoon and Australia in the morning
  • Experience with international brands and standards

How to make it work

  1. Start with a clear written scope and acceptance criteria
  2. Agree milestones and payment stages
  3. Use a shared project board and weekly demos
  4. Insist on a staging site you can review anytime
  5. Make sure you own the code, domain and accounts

Common mistakes

  • Choosing purely on the lowest price
  • Vague briefs (“something like Amazon”)
  • No single decision-maker on your side
  • Skipping post-launch support
