Frequently asked
They are the items that cause the most arguments later in a website project: ownership (source code, domain, hosting account), scope (number of templates, admin panel), dates and payments, technical foundations (SEO, analytics, speed, redirects) and backups and support.
No. The check runs entirely in your browser; your answers are never sent to a server.
The result gives the question to ask the agency for every gap. Ask for the answer to be added to the proposal in writing; a verbal promise cannot be proven later.
We also set out where the price difference between quotes comes from: what decides the cost of a website
