How to choose a web developer: 10 questions to ask

A website is a business tool you will use for years. These questions help you choose well.

  1. Can I see real work? Open their live projects and test them on your phone.
  2. Who will do the work? The person you meet or a third party?
  3. What exactly is included? Pages, features, revisions, mobile design, SEO setup.
  4. How long will it take, and what do you need from me to keep that timeline?
  5. Who owns the website, the domain, the design and the code after launch?
  6. How are payments split? A staged payment linked to progress is normal.
  7. What happens after launch? Training, support, bug fixes, and how long they last.
  8. What is the maintenance cost, and what does it cover?
  9. Can I update the site myself, or must I ask you for every change?
  10. What if we disagree? A clear process for changes avoids arguments.

Warning signs

  • A guaranteed number one ranking on Google
  • A price far below everyone else, with no written scope
  • The developer registers your domain in their own name
  • No contract or written quote
  • Slow or vague replies even before you pay

Ask for it in writing

A short written scope, timeline and price protects both sides.
