Four Questions

... to ask before signing a website development contract:

Does the contract detail the expenses for all four aspects of owning of website?

Many contracts only discuss the one-time costs of design and development of your site, ignoring the ongoing costs for hosting and updating the site.

Our contracts provide firm prices for the total cost of ownership.

Is the developer committed to an ongoing relationship?

After the site is completed, will the developer still be available to answer questions and update the site? At what cost?

We stick around to maintain what we build at a reasonable cost.

Who will actually do the work?

Some firms only do design and outsource the development.

Red Letter Design does design and development in-house, as well as hosting and maintenance, providing you direct access to the person who actually works on your site.

Will the site adhere to technical standards for quality?

Will your developer follow best practices for producing quality code that will continue to function as browsers and operating systems evolve?

Our sites adhere to established code standards and are tested in all major browsers and operating systems.
