Questions to Ask a Developer

- Using an existing theme (as is)
- Or customizing an existing theme
- Or has a custom theme been built from scratch (if custom, will need training on how to edit it because general resources won’t be available for themes built from scratch)
- How easy is it for me to edit/manage the site. What access level do you have? (what are the capabilities of that access)
- Do they have an SEO or ux/user experience strategy for the landing pages? (Developers might not offer SEO strategy for improving engagement)
- Do they have a strategy for URL structure?
- Are analytics and tag manager set up?
- Know what plugins and third parties you have on your site (All web isn’t web. What third parties used might need to bring in for help regarding those specific plugins/applications)
- Who is your domain name hosted with?
- Know who your website is hosted with (not always the same host. Access levels can vary)
