before you hire a web designer

make sure the basics are actually included


A small business website should help customers trust you, find answers, and contact you. Before hiring any website company, make sure the things your business actually needs are not treated like expensive add-ons.

A Website Package Should Be Clear From The Start

A business owner should know:

  • What pages are included
  • Whether the site works on mobile
  • Who writes the content
  • How customers will contact them
  • What happens before and after launch
  • What the real cost is

the basics should not feel like Upgrades


Before hiring a website company, pay attention to whether the things your business needs are included from the start or added later as extra charges.

mobile-friendly design should be included

Most local customers will visit from their phone. A website that does not work well on mobile is not complete.


What To Watch For: If a company charges extra just to make your site mobile-responsive, that is worth paying attention to.

Your Website Should Include The Pages It Needs

Your website should be built around what your customers need to know, not around forcing your business into a small page limit.


What To Watch For: If additional pages become another charge, ask whether the package is really built around your business or just around a preset limit.

You Should Not Have To Write Everything Yourself

Most business owners know their work, but they do not always know how to turn that into website copy. A good website service should help organize and write the content.


What To Watch For: If a designer expects you to provide every word, the project may require more time from you than you expected.

Customers Should Be Able To Contact You Easily

A small business website should make it easy to call, text, submit a form, request a quote, or book when appropriate.


What To Watch For: If basic contact forms, buttons, or contact options are treated like extras, ask what the website is actually being built to do.

Your Website Should Be Set Up Clearly For Search

This does not need to promise advanced SEO. But basic page structure, titles, service wording, location wording, and readable content should be part of a proper build.


What To Watch For: If a website is built without basic search structure, it may look nice but still be unclear to Google and customers.

You Should Be Able To Review It Before Launch

A website should not go live before you’ve had a chance to review the content, layout, contact details, and important business information.


What To Watch For: If every small adjustment becomes a new bill, the project can become frustrating fast.

Launch Should Not Be Left For You To Figure Out

Most small business owners do not want to deal with connecting domains, checking buttons, testing forms, and making sure the website is live properly.


What To Watch For: Before hiring someone, ask whether launch support is included or whether you are expected to handle the final setup yourself.

Know What Happens After The Website Is Live

After launch, websites still need updates, changes, security, forms, hosting, and occasional adjustments.


What To Watch For: Ask whether support is available after launch or whether the project ends the moment the website goes live.
