Before signing a web quote
A redesign quote or an agency proposal on the table? Before you commit, check the technical coherence, the budget and the dependency risks.
A bad tech choice costs far more than a second opinion: a redesign to redo, lock-in to one vendor, oversized line items. Yet most quotes read plainly once you know where to look — code ownership, hosting, reversibility, what's recurring.
The possible paths
Sign
The quote is clear, coherent and reversible: you can go ahead.
Adjust
Good base, but points to clarify or renegotiate before signing.
Second opinion
High amount, lock-in or technical haze: an independent look before you commit.
What actually tips the decision
Check who owns the code
Without access to the code and content, you're captive. Ownership and reversibility come before price.
Beware vague line items
“Custom development” with no detail, “SEO included” with no scope: what isn't specified gets billed later or done poorly.
Recurring costs matter as much as the one-off
Subscriptions, licenses, mandatory maintenance: add up the three-year cost, not just the initial invoice.
Oversized = paying for nothing
Headless, a mobile app or a CRM for a brochure site: the tech must fit the need, not the quote's ambition.
The content is enough to understand. A call or audit applies it to your real case before you spend — the tools qualify, the advice decides.
