Every web design agency shows you its best work. The portfolio tells you what they can make look good — not whether they’ll deliver results for you, on time, with no nasty surprises. Here’s how to vet beyond the gloss.

What to evaluate

Run every shortlisted agency through these.

// HOW TO VET AN AGENCY
Results, not just looks
Ask for outcomes — enquiries, rankings, load times — from past sites.
Who does the work
Know who’s actually on your account, not just the salesperson.
A clear process
Discovery, design, build, launch — with your sign-off at each step.
Ownership in writing
You own the domain, hosting, content and code — confirmed before you sign.

Red flags to walk away from

Vague scope, no mention of SEO or mobile speed, refusal to hand over ownership, and guarantees of “#1 on Google” are all signs to keep looking. So is a portfolio with no measurable results behind it.

Lock it down before you sign

Get scope, timeline, revisions, ownership and aftercare in writing. A reputable agency welcomes this. For the agency-vs-freelancer angle see our comparison, and for the full picture of what a good partner delivers, our web design agency guide.

Look past the portfolio to results, process and people: ask for measurable outcomes, find out who works on your account, confirm a clear process, and lock down ownership and aftercare in writing.
What questions should I ask a web design agency?
What results have past sites achieved? Who will work on mine? What’s your process and timeline? What’s included (content, SEO, revisions)? And do I own the domain, hosting and code?
What are the red flags when choosing an agency?
Vague scope, no mention of SEO or mobile speed, refusing to give you ownership, “guaranteed #1 ranking” promises, and portfolios with no measurable results behind them.
