  • Does the design firm have the experience that matches your goals for the website? Make sure you have a clear idea of what your objectives are for your web site. It's important to evaluate whether the design firm will be able to meet your needs
  • Once you have determined a company that may be a good fit, talk to former clients of the web design firm whose needs may be similar to yours. You need to talk to a minimum of two or three references to get an idea of a firm's portfolio and strengths and weaknesses.
  • Consider the project management strategy of the firm, i.e. keeping to budget, being able to produce good ideas, collaborating with clients. How will they manage this project? The better the project management skills of a web design firm, the less work there is for the client.
