Illustration for the article: How to choose a web development company: 10 questions to ask

Choosing a development partner is a big decision. A little structured questioning early can save months later.

Questions about their work

  • Can you show live projects similar to mine, and explain your role in each?
  • Who will actually work on my project, and will they be the same people throughout?
  • Can I speak to a past client?

Questions about process

  • How do you gather and document requirements?
  • How often will I see progress, and in what form?
  • How do you handle changes after the scope is agreed?

Questions about ownership and risk

  • Who owns the code, design and content when the project ends?
  • Where will the site be hosted, and can I move it?
  • How do you handle testing, security and backups?
  • What support is included after launch, and what does it cost?

Warning signs

Be cautious about quotes with no breakdown, promises of guaranteed rankings, reluctance to share references, and agencies that agree to everything without asking questions. A good partner challenges unclear requirements.

Whatever you decide, ask for a written scope and timeline before work starts. If you would like to see how we answer these questions, get in touch and we will walk you through our process.
