DO’S&DON’TS for your business…
- DO look at their portfolio, find out how long they have been in business and what experience they have in your chosen area.
- DO ask how many members of staff will be working on your site and who the main point of contact will be throughout.
- DO question what SEO experience they have and whether that will be applied as they are building the site.
- DO ask if the site will be on its own server, a shared server or a virtual server. Some companies will hire part of a server from a hosting company which will contain sites from other companies which can put yours at risk.
- DO ask for an estimate of how long the project will take and if you can pay in installments over that time.
- DO get estimated completion dates for design, build and testing of your website.
- DON’T accept the first quote you get – shop around a little.
- DON’T pay anything up front.
