Choose a provider that explains the work, acceptance checks, handover, ownership and exclusions in writing. A good-looking sample or low price is not enough. Compare defined deliverables against what your business needs.
Send the same brief to each provider
Describe your activity, audience, services, expected pages, languages and website goal. List available materials and essential functions such as quotation enquiries or appointment requests, and allow time for review.
Using the same brief makes comparisons more useful. A single page and a bilingual website with content preparation are different scopes; their headline prices should not be treated as directly equivalent.
Review examples and how they are described
Ask whether an example is a live client project or a concept, and what part the provider delivered. Look at mobile usability, navigation and text clarity rather than only a homepage screenshot. A concept can demonstrate a design direction without proving client delivery or commercial results.
Ask how Arabic and English are reviewed and how forms and links are tested. Do not base the decision on traffic or sales claims without appropriate supporting evidence.
A copyable proposal comparison checklist
For each provider, record the written answer and any unresolved question against these items:
- Scope: pages, languages, functions and exclusions.
- Content: who writes, translates, supplies images and approves facts?
- Ownership: whose name is on the domain, and who owns or manages hosting and tool accounts?
- Cost: implementation, renewals, licences and any applicable fees or tax.
- Reviews: revision rounds, change approval and pricing for additions.
- Testing: mobile views, links, form fields and delivery to the correct recipient.
- Handover: agreed files or access, content updates and backup arrangements.
- Support: defect-fix period and limits, with later maintenance and development costs.
Ask specific questions about search and measurement
Ask what SEO work actually includes: page titles and descriptions, clear links, a sitemap or agreed measurement setup. Establish ownership of measurement accounts and how visitor analytics choices are respected.
A promise of first place should not be your selection criterion. Google’s helpful-content guidance focuses on information that serves readers and adds value; article counts and repeated keywords alone do not establish quality.
Make acceptance checks concrete
Before final approval, review the agreed pages in both languages, submit an authorised test enquiry to the designated recipient, and check links and contact details. Keep one feedback list and distinguish implementation defects from new requirements.
WJAZ agrees deliverables, scope and timing before work. The core website package includes two revision rounds and a 22-day technical warranty for implementation defects within the agreement. This does not mean ongoing management or additional features are included. Review the service details against your needs before committing.
