How to choose website development

Understand website development scope, compare proposals and prepare a brief before contacting providers.

Define the scope

A development proposal should explain what will be built, how it will be tested and who will own the finished website. A brochure site, an online store and a custom web application need different integrations and support. Compare proposals against the same written requirements before comparing their prices.

What to compare between providers

  • Check examples of the same type of website and ask about the provider's role in delivery.
  • Discuss content management, payment integrations, backups, security updates and accessibility.
  • Confirm ownership of the domain, hosting accounts, code and administrator credentials.

Prepare a useful request for a quote

  • Describe the required pages, integrations, languages and expected traffic.
  • Identify who supplies text, product information, images and legal notices.
  • Ask for acceptance criteria, a launch plan and the terms of maintenance after delivery.
