Introduction
Before starting a website or software project, excitement often takes over — but rushing into a contract without full understanding can lead to serious problems later. Too many businesses sign agreements without knowing what they’re actually agreeing to, only to realize later they’ve lost control over their website, code, or even domain name.
When dealing with any development company, it’s crucial to ask questions and review every section of the contract carefully. Make sure you understand what’s included, what’s not, and who owns what after the project is completed.
Questions to Ask Before Signing
- Ownership — Who owns the source code and domain name once the project is done?
- Access — Will I get full access to my website backend and hosting account?
- Costs — Are there any ongoing fees, renewals, or hidden maintenance costs?
- Portability — What happens if I want to move to a different developer in the future?
- Change Management — How are project revisions or delays handled?
- Support — What kind of post-launch support and warranty do you provide?
Why These Questions Matter
Failing to ask these questions can lead to expensive consequences — like losing control of your own website, being charged for unnecessary “renewals,” or being stuck with unfinished work.
