Delhi has hundreds of web agencies. How do you pick the right one for your business? This checklist covers what to look for, what to avoid, and how to verify their work.
The problem: Delhi's web design market is crowded. Freelancers, agencies, and consultants all claim to build great sites. Many deliver templates with your logo slapped on top. Others overcharge for work a junior developer could do. How do you find the right partner?
1. Check their actual work
Ask for client sites they've shipped. Visit 3-5 of them. Are they fast (under 2 seconds load)? Do they look professional? Most importantly — click around and ask yourself, "Would I be proud to own this?"
Avoid agencies that can't show live work or only show template sites.
2. Verify they code, not just template
Ask: "Will you build on Wix/Webflow/Squarespace?" If yes, walk away. Custom code (Next.js, PHP, WordPress with custom themes) is faster, cheaper to maintain, and easier for SEO.
3. Ask about SEO
Real web agencies build SEO in during development — schema markup, clean HTML, fast load times. Agencies that talk about SEO as an "add-on service" don't understand web fundamentals.
4. Get a written scope
Before you commit, get a written proposal that lists: number of pages, which features, third-party integrations, timeline, and price. If it's vague, it's a red flag.
5. Ask about post-launch support
You'll find bugs after launch. Ask how long they support you and what happens after that. "One month free" is standard. Anything less is stingy.
6. Talk to the actual person doing the work
Not a project manager, not a salesperson — the developer or designer who will touch your project. Can you reach them? Do they answer your questions clearly?
Red flags
- Pressure to decide "today" or in the next few hours
- Can't show you live client work
- Price is suspiciously cheap ("₹5,000 website!!") or vaguely high
- Won't put scope and price in writing
- No clear communication channel (email disappears, only messages via WhatsApp)
- Templates reused across clients (same design, different company names)
Green flags
- They ask about YOUR business before talking features
- They have real examples (live sites, case studies, before/after)
- They clearly explain their process (discovery, design, dev, launch)
- Fixed price in writing — no surprises
- Founder or senior person is accessible
- They talk about SEO and performance as basics, not extras
Choosing a web partner is one of the few decisions that directly affects your business's ability to win customers online. Take time, ask questions, and don't rush.
