How to Choose a Web Agency

Choosing the right web agency can save thousands and months of lost time. Here are our recommendations.

10 Evaluation Criteria

  1. Portfolio — not just visual, but also the speed and mobile version of showcased projects
  2. Reviews — search Google, LinkedIn and ask for references
  3. Process — do they have a clear workflow with stages and deadlines?
  4. Technology — what technologies do they use and why?
  5. SEO — is basic SEO included in the development?
  6. Support — what happens after launch?
  7. Contract — clear terms for scope, deadline and payment
  8. Communication — how quickly do they respond and how clearly do they explain?
  9. Code — who owns the code after the project?
  10. Price — reasonable for the scope, not suspiciously low

Red Flags

  • Promises of "first position in Google"
  • No contract
  • 100% upfront payment
  • Can't show real projects
  • Don't mention mobile version or SEO

Frequently asked questions

What to look for in a web agency portfolio?

Variety of projects, site speed (check with PageSpeed), mobile compatibility, design quality and whether they have projects in a similar industry.

Do I need a contract for website development?

Yes, always. The contract should include: scope, deadline, price, payment stages, number of revisions, who owns the code, post-launch support.

What guarantee should I expect?

Minimum 1-3 months for bug fixes. Some agencies also offer monthly maintenance. Ask about SLA (guaranteed response time).

How many quotes should I compare?

At least 3 from different types (freelancer, small agency, larger agency). Don't choose by price alone — compare scope and quality.

Should I pay upfront?

Standard is 30-50% deposit. Never pay 100% upfront. Optimal: 30% deposit, 40% on design approval, 30% on launch.
