Website Commissioning List

Selecting web developers to work with can be a bit of a hit and miss affair. Zarr has written a simple checklist of things to discuss with web developers before you take the plunge.

Company history and status. You must be reassured that you are dealing with a company with a track record and one that can support your business now and in the future.
Their web solution. Satisfy yourself that the solution you choose will be easy for you to update and manage and attractive to users.
The development process. Make sure you understand how the site will be developed and at what stage you will be asked to review and approve the graphical design and page layouts.
Time scales and deadlines. Be wary of anyone who says they can develop a full ecommerce site within a few days or even a few weeks. You may either get an off-the-shelf solution, which may not suit your business or else they won’t actually meet the agreed timetable.
Intellectual property and rights. Explore with them who owns the code and what would happen if they went out of business or if for some reason you wanted someone else to continue the development of your site.
Reporting and management information. A good idea is to list all the information you will need to run your business effectively and ask the web developers whether you can obtain this information from the ‘back office’ function of your website.
Security and uptime. Understand how and where the site would be hosted and confirm the reliability, back-up and security systems.
Costs. Be aware of all initial costs and any on-going licenses, hosting or other fees.
