Questions to ask before hiring a web developer

The matmad team·

Hiring the right web developer is mostly about asking the right questions early. A good one will answer clearly and confidently; vague or evasive answers are a useful warning sign.

Ownership and control

  • Will I fully own the website, code and domain?
  • Can I edit content myself after launch?
  • What happens if we stop working together?

Quality and results

  • Is technical SEO and performance included?
  • Can I see live examples and test them on mobile?
  • How do you measure whether the site is working?

Process, timelines and support

  • What is the timeline and how will we communicate?
  • What do you need from me, and when?
  • What support is available after launch?
