What to look for in a web design agency

  • Senior specialists doing the work — not a rotating cast of juniors
  • Transparent reporting tied to revenue, not vanity metrics
  • A clear strategy and roadmap, not a generic checklist
  • Case studies and references in your industry or market
  • Flexible, month-to-month terms that earn your trust

Red flags to avoid

  • Guarantees of #1 rankings or specific results (no one can honestly promise this)
  • Long lock-in contracts with no performance accountability
  • Vague reporting that hides what's actually happening
  • Suspiciously cheap pricing — it usually means junior, templated work
  • No clarity on who actually does the work

Questions to ask before you sign

  • Who specifically will manage my account, and how senior are they?
  • How do you measure and report on web design & development?
  • Can I see results you've driven for businesses like mine?
  • What does your onboarding and first 90 days look like?
  • What are your contract terms, and can I scale up or down?
