Ask for a delivery process and ownership terms before comparing a website agency’s price. A Bengaluru business should evaluate how the proposed site supports its customers, content team and enquiry workflow—not only the visual portfolio.
Turn the proposal into an acceptance checklist
List the pages, templates, forms, integrations and editing capabilities you need. Ask what counts as completion for each item and who supplies text, photography and legal content. A proposal saying 'responsive website' does not explain whether navigation, error messages and download flows will be tested on a phone.
Review a relevant project in detail
Ask the agency to explain a comparable project’s scope, constraints and delivery method. Inspect the live page on mobile rather than judging screenshots alone. A portfolio can establish design and implementation quality without disclosing another client’s confidential conversion results. Do not assume an attractive site implies a particular revenue improvement.
Confirm access and recurring costs
Clarify ownership of the domain, hosting, source code, analytics and platform licences. Ask which accounts should be in your business’s name and how credentials are handed over. Compare maintenance, renewal, migration and support costs alongside the build fee. Avoid a setup that makes routine content changes depend on an undocumented personal account.
Use the consultation to test reasoning
Describe one real customer journey and one operational problem. Notice whether the developer asks useful questions, explains trade-offs and recommends a maintainable solution. Bring your existing URL, page outline and examples of forms or integrations. Juggle’s website service can scope that brief; obtain a written estimate rather than assuming a fixed market price.
