Choosing the wrong web designer can cost you much more than money: time, search rankings and sales opportunities. These are the keys to getting it right first time.
1. Look at results, not just attractive designs
An attractive website that does not convert is no use. Ask for examples of real projects with metrics: increases in visits, leads generated, sales. In our project portfolio you will see case studies with measurable results.
2. Ask about SEO from the very first minute
If your designer does not talk about technical SEO, search intent and structured data, your website will be invisible to Google from day one. SEO is not an "extra", it is part of the design.
3. Check that they understand your local business
A web designer in Pontevedra who knows the local market has a huge advantage: they know which competitors you are up against, what your customers are looking for and how to position you in your area.
4. Insist on ongoing support and maintenance
A website without maintenance becomes outdated within months. Make sure the contract includes updates, backups and genuine technical support, not just an email address that nobody replies to.
5. The 10 key questions before signing
- Can I see 3 projects similar to mine, with results?
- What exactly does the price include?
- Will the website be 100% mine (code, domain, hosting)?
- How is the project's success measured?
- What technical SEO do you implement as standard?
- How long does it take, and what happens if there are delays?
- What support do I get after delivery?
- Do we comply with GDPR and accessibility requirements?
- How do the pages load on mobile (Core Web Vitals)?
- Who will make changes afterwards? At what cost?
