Five questions to ask before you pay anyone
- Is the domain registered in my name?
- What's the total cost over 12 months, including hosting?
- What happens to my site if I leave?
- How many edits are included?
- Will the site be set up for local search, or is that extra?
Watch the total, not the headline price
A very cheap upfront price often comes with a long contract, and a large upfront price may not include hosting or updates. Compare what you'd pay over one and three years.
