Evaluate a website by its lifetime cost and usefulness

Price alone does not establish quality

Compare pages, content, design, testing and ownership. A small budget may suit a small scope; complex systems need resources for the additional work.

Inspect ongoing costs

Ask about hosting, domains, licences, revisions and migration. Clarify backups, security and who responds when something fails.

Use evidence to decide

Review real work and tests with stated conditions. A technology name does not establish the fastest or safest solution. Judge usefulness by the tasks customers and staff can complete.
