You’ve posted a request to create your website, and a few hours later… it’s an avalanche.
Dozens, sometimes more than 100 offers from service providers. All promising a fast, beautiful, high-performance website. But how do you make sense of it all? How do you know who to trust for the creation of a professional website?
Here’s a simple, jargon-free guide to help you make the right choice – without stress, without wasting time.
1. A clear offer, not a cut-and-paste copy
A good web service provider doesn’t send you an automatic quote in 10 minutes. They take the time to read your request, ask questions and rephrase your needs. A truly personalized offer is often the sign of a professional who wants to take things seriously, not just “win” a contract.
2. He’s talking about you, not just himself
Some people bombard you with their references, their technical skills, their latest super project. That’s all well and good. But what you’re looking for is someone who understands your business, your objectives, your constraints. If you feel that he or she is really reacting to what you’ve written, asking the right questions and proposing concrete ideas, that’s a good sign.
3. Technical transparency (but explained simply)
You don’t have to be an expert to ask the right questions:
- Who owns the site?
- Where will the data be stored?
- Can I change agencies later without losing everything?
A good freelancer or web developer gives you clear, jargon-free answers. They explain technical choices and give you visibility on what you’re buying.
4. The project doesn’t stop when it goes online
A professional website isn’t a case of “launch it and forget it”. Think about:
- maintenance (security, updates)
- developments (new pages, new functions)
- support (when you have a question or concern)
A good digital service provider offers long-term support. It doesn’t disappear once the site is online.
5. Budget: compare what you get, not just the price
Some quotes are very low, but without details. Others are more expensive, but include everything: custom design,SEO, support, testing, training… The cheapest on paper isn’t always the most profitable in the long run. Look for added value.
Useful questions to ask before choosing :
- Who will be my main contact?
- How will the follow-up take place (meetings, milestones, tests, etc.)?
- Can I see an example of a schedule or method?
- What happens if I need to change something along the way?
