Not All Agencies Are Created Equal
Your website is one of the most important investments your business will make. Choosing the right partner to build it matters enormously. Here's how to evaluate your options.
What to Look For
- Portfolio quality: Do their past projects look professional, modern, and well-crafted?
- Industry experience: Have they worked with businesses similar to yours?
- Clear process: A good agency has a defined process with clear milestones and communication
- SEO knowledge: A beautiful site that nobody finds is useless. SEO should be built in
- Responsiveness: How quickly do they respond to inquiries? That's how they'll communicate during the project
- Post-launch support: What happens after launch? Training, updates, hosting, maintenance?
Red Flags
- No portfolio or unwillingness to show past work
- Extremely low prices (you get what you pay for)
- No clear timeline or process
- They can't explain their SEO approach
- They don't ask about your business goals
- They want full payment upfront
Questions to Ask
- What does your design process look like?
- Will I be able to update the site myself?
- How do you handle SEO?
- What's included in the price (and what costs extra)?
- What's the typical timeline?
- Do you provide ongoing support?
