Tirana has dozens of web design agencies and hundreds of freelancers. Most promise the same thing. Only a few deliver results. How do you tell a truly professional agency apart from one that just sells words? This article gives you the right criteria before you sign any contract.
What sets a professional agency apart from amateurs
A real portfolio, not templates. Ask for live URLs of projects. If every site looks the same, they're probably working off the same template.
Price transparency. A serious agency gives you a detailed quote with a breakdown by component: design, development, SEO, hosting.
A structured process. Professional projects are preceded by a planning and briefing phase. If the agency starts designing without understanding your business, that's not a good sign.
7 questions to ask every web design agency
- 1. Can I see projects similar to my industry?
- 2. Who will actually build the project? (some subcontract)
- 3. What will the site look like in 2 years? Is it built with modern technology?
- 4. What exactly does the SEO you offer include?
- 5. Who owns the code and the domain after the project?
- 6. How are changes handled after delivery: are they free or paid?
- 7. Can you show me references or testimonials from your clients?
