Your website is often the first impression people get of your brand—it should be fast, functional, and uniquely you. Whether you’re launching a new site or refreshing an outdated one, here are 7 smart questions to ask before signing a web design contract:



  1. Can I See Your Portfolio?


A designer’s past work speaks volumes. Look for variety in style, industries served, and mobile responsiveness. At Mevo Creative Studios, we showcase a wide range of custom builds—each crafted to reflect the client’s voice, not ours.



  1. Do You Offer Strategy or Just Design?


A great site isn’t just pretty—it solves problems. Ask if the designer helps you clarify messaging, improve user flow, or guide your audience to take action. We blend design with strategic storytelling so your site not only looks good, but performs.



  1. What Platform Do You Build On, and Why?


Know what you’re getting into. Will your site be easy to update? Is it built for performance and scalability? We work primarily in Wix Studio, a powerful platform that gives our clients flexibility without sacrificing customization or speed.



  1. How Do You Handle SEO?


Design without SEO is like a billboard in the desert. Make sure your designer understands metadata, image compression, site speed, and keyword strategy. We optimize every page we build—from headline structure to mobile loading time.



  1. What’s Included (and What’s Not)?


Be clear on what’s part of the package. Are photos included? Is copywriting extra? Will you need to pay for ongoing updates? At Mevo, we define expectations up front—and if you ever want help down the road, we’re here.



  1. How Long Will the Project Take?


Timelines vary. A simple 5-page site shouldn’t take 6 months. Ask for a realistic schedule, and make sure they account for revisions and your feedback time. We prioritize communication and keep our clients updated at every phase.



  1. What Happens After Launch?


A great launch is just the beginning. Ask what kind of post-launch support is available. Will they make updates if needed? Do they offer ongoing services or just hand the site over? At Mevo, we’re available when you need us—whether it’s troubleshooting, adding new content, or expanding your site as your business grows.



Final Thought:


Don’t settle for a designer who just wants to check a box and move on. Choose a creative partner who listens well, understands your goals, and brings your vision to life with excellence.
