Getting a website built is a once-or-twice-in-a-lifetime investment for most business owners. That is exactly why it is hard to decide without understanding how the process works. Here are the most important points to know before you commission a website.
Define your goal: Not every website does the same job. Do you want a corporate showcase, online sales, or appointment booking? If you cannot describe your goal in one sentence, clarify that first.
Mobile compatibility is a must: Most traffic comes from phones, and Google ranks sites by their mobile view. Test a sample of the site on your own phone.
Ask what the price covers: Are the domain, hosting, SSL certificate, content entry, and post-launch support included? Look not at a single figure but at what that figure includes.
SEO must be planned from the start: The sitemap, meta tags, and a fast infrastructure should already be in place at delivery. SEO added afterwards is always more expensive and incomplete.
Who provides the content: Do you supply the text and images, or does the agency produce them? If this stays unclear, the project stalls.
Post-delivery support: After launch, who do you turn to for fixes, and how long does support last? A good agency stays reachable after delivery too.
Check references: Browse the agency's previous sites live; check speed, mobile compatibility, and whether the design fits your taste. What best describes an agency is its work.
