Review relevant work
Look for projects similar to what you need.
A company that builds small business websites may not be the right choice for a large portal. The same applies in reverse.
Ask what the company handled in each example. Design, development, content, and marketing may have been done by different teams.
Ask for a written scope
- Pages and features
- Content responsibilities
- Delivery stages
- Testing
- Included changes
- Payment terms
- Post-launch support
Check communication
Ask who will manage the project and how updates will be shared.
You should also know how questions, delays, and change requests will be handled.
Understand ownership
Confirm who owns the website, domain, design files, content, and source code after final payment.
Ask which accounts should be created in your company’s name.
Compare the full offer
Price matters, but it should be compared with the scope, quality of work, communication, and support.
The best choice is the company that fits your project and explains its offer clearly.
