Ask for a breakdown of the proposal
What exactly will be delivered? What materials do they need from you? Which integrations and third-party subscriptions are billed separately? Specific answers let you compare options without guessing. A risk-free way to get acquainted is a free audit.
Watch how the contractor deals with the unknown. Admitting that a diagnosis is needed is better than guaranteeing a deadline and a result without ever seeing your system.
Find out how the work is signed off
You need criteria and examples of checks. For a website, that means acceptance scenarios; for advertising, a definition of the result; for a CRM, the process and the data. Ask what happens if a check uncovers a problem.
Clarify how changes in scope are agreed. New tasks are normal, but they should show up in the plan, not appear as a surprise at the end.
Make sure you stay in control
Who coordinates the work, where are the materials stored and how is access handed over? Your company should own its domains and services. When the project ends, you should be left with the source files and a clear picture of how your system works. How to set up this kind of partnership: an outsourced digital team.
If you need several connected services, consider an outsourced digital team. The About Boroda Expert page describes how we work together with clients; when you talk to us, match that approach against the specific needs of your project.
