Steps to select a perfect Web Agency for your business
With a barrage of proposals from freelancers, small and big digital agencies, obviously you are confused to select whom. Everyone is promising moon and stars. But when you start questioning each of them, you will understand what lies beneath the moon and stars. Once you start questioning them, most of them will not reply/or reply with very vague answers. The standard answer will be ‘Quality mein farak hota hai’. Pester them more, ask them how. Please quantify the quality. If they are able to do that, go with them. Following are the activities you should go through:
1) Go through their Case Studies and portfolio
2) Focus on Small Details ( i.e. Favicon, security, grammar, typos, font size, responsiveness, name of images). An agency/freelancer who has focused on small details has taken the pain and completed the previous projects with the right mindset and tenacity
3) Check out the testimonials
4) Fake ones are easy to spot out by checking their profile
5) Talk to Testimonials. If they talk about the project and how they worked with the agency to get it live, take them seriously.
Questions you must ask them:
1) Can you elaborate how your strategies and actions will be upscale compared to an agency quoting X amount?
2) How equipped is your team and the proposed solution for scaling this up in future?
3) Please walk through different stages of digital lifecycle
4) Please share testimonials of your previous work and ask for contact details
