Which criteria assess proof and expertise?
1. A results-oriented portfolio, not just an aesthetic one
A beautiful design guarantees nothing. Ask what those sites actually produced in requests or sales, not just what they look like.
2. Verifiable references and case studies
A serious agency can point to concrete examples, with context and the approach used, not just a wall of client logos.
3. Knowledge of your industry
An agency that's already worked on challenges close to yours understands your specific issues faster.
Which criteria assess the method?
4. A clear process, not just a brief intake form
A good agency explains how it works, step by step, before even talking about deliverables.
5. A diagnosis phase before any proposal
A proposal that arrives without an in-depth conversation about your business is often a standardized solution disguised as custom work.
6. A roadmap with milestones and timelines
You should know what to expect and when, not discover the schedule as you go.
Which criteria assess transparency?
7. A detailed, line-by-line quote
A lump sum without detail often hides additional costs to come.
8. Clarity on what's included after launch
Hosting, maintenance, minor changes: clarify what's covered and for how long.
9. Clear communication about realistic timelines
Be wary of overly optimistic timelines announced before the true scope of the project is even known.
Which criteria assess follow-up?
10. Support after launch, not abandonment
A website is never truly finished. An agency that disappears after launch leaves little room for improvement.
11. Tracking of results, not just traffic
The number of visitors matters less than the number of requests generated. A good agency tracks both, not just the first.
12. Responsive availability when something goes wrong
A site outage or a broken form should get a fast response, not wait several days.
