Choosing Wisely
Choosing the wrong web agency can cost you months of time and thousands of crowns. Not all agencies are created equal, and the cheapest option is rarely the best.
Red Flags to Watch For
No Portfolio or Case Studies
If an agency can't show you real work with real results, that's a major red flag. Ask for specific examples and references.
Vendor Lock-In
Some agencies keep your source files, passwords, and hosting access hostage. Make sure you own everything from day one.
Vague Pricing
If they can't give you a clear quote before starting, expect billing surprises. Transparent pricing is a sign of professionalism.
Questions to Ask
Before signing with any agency, ask these questions:
- Will I own all source files and passwords?
- What are the total costs including annual operating costs?
- Can you show me similar projects you've completed?
- What happens if I want to switch providers?
- How do you handle revisions and feedback?
What Good Agencies Do
Professional agencies are transparent about pricing, share source files, communicate clearly, and focus on results — not just pretty designs.
The most expensive agency isn't always the best. And the cheapest is almost never a good deal. Look for value, transparency, and proven results.
Conclusion
Take your time choosing. Ask the right questions. And don't accept vendor lock-in from anyone.
