21-point checklist to evaluate Indian web design agencies — portfolio, process, pricing, IP ownership, support SLA and red flags to avoid.
There are 50,000+ "web design companies" in India. Most are 2-person shops. Here's how to separate the real agencies from the rest.
Open every portfolio link. Check Lighthouse score, mobile responsiveness, SSL, schema. If the agency's own clients have broken sites, walk away.
Discovery → wireframe → design → develop → QA → launch → support. Each stage should have deliverables and signoffs.
Beware of flat "₹15,000 for any website" offers. Real agencies break down design hours, development hours, plugin licenses, hosting and third-party tools.
The code, design files and content should be yours on final payment. Get this in writing.
No GST invoice, refuses video call, no Bangalore/India office, no case studies with metrics, copy-pasted Behance designs, asks for full payment upfront.
