How to choose a website design firm
The 22 questions you need to ask before making a decision

Website development projects can be fraught with risk. Organizations often wonder:

  • How can we be sure we’re choosing the right technology for our needs?
  • Have we thought of everything so we don’t miss deadlines or pay for change orders?
  • How can we avoid getting stuck with a vendor that we can’t trust to deliver?
  • How can we make an apples-to-apples comparison of all these bids?
  • How can we ensure our new website is one we can be proud of?

This document aims to help you ask the right questions and mitigate risks when evaluating a website vendor. While there are many items to compare, the 22 questions listed here are those most likely to affect your overall project process and outcome while also ensuring that your website project launches on time and within your budget.

The folks from Digital Deployment and Streamline lay out a discovery process that includes identifying “audiences” (or stakeholders), getting to the “why” of what you’re hoping to accomplish, and methods to clearly identify what is required for a successful adoption of any new system you’re considering.

Say goodbye to clip art. Say hello to Unsplash.

Back in the day of Microsoft publisher, clip art was all the rage. Fortunately, those days have passed and we have some much better tools to help get our ideas across. 

Today, we’d like to introduce you to Unsplash.com. Unsplash is a gorgeous collection of royalty-free photography that uses a creative commons zero license to provide great, free images for websites like yours. “Blogs, art, book covers, tshirts, and more — paid or unpaid — they’re all allowed under the license.”
