Before Commissioning a Website in Çorum: Checklist

A design example does not define what a website project includes. Prepare the information and questions that help you compare proposals before you choose a provider.

Quick answer and first checks

Write down the website’s purpose, required pages and content responsibilities. Discuss domain ownership, administrator accounts and post-launch support before accepting a proposal. This makes comparison possible beyond the headline price.

  • Record the primary goal and required pages
  • Clarify ownership of the domain and accounts
  • Request written delivery and support scope

Define the website's business goal first

“We need a website” is not a sufficient goal on its own. Should visitors call, contact you on WhatsApp, request a quote, book an appointment or browse products? The primary goal directly shapes the page structure and calls to action.

For local businesses in Çorum, directing visitors from Google searches to the right service page is another important goal. Local search intent should therefore inform the site architecture before design begins.

Keep control of your domain and account access

The business should be able to control access to its domain, hosting, Search Console, Analytics and any content management system. Clarify account ownership and permissions at the outset so you do not become dependent on the technical provider after delivery.

Responsibility for domain, SSL and hosting renewals should also be discussed when the quotation is prepared.

Plan the mobile experience around real devices

Responsive design is more than shrinking a desktop layout. Menus, heading sizes, buttons, forms, images and touch targets each need checking on a phone screen.

Because Google uses a mobile-first approach to crawling, important text and links should not disappear entirely on mobile. User experience and SEO serve the same goal here.

SEO foundations should not be an afterthought

Heading hierarchy, URL structure, canonicals, sitemaps, robots directives, internal links and page performance should not be added as a separate layer in a rush at the end. Planning them alongside the site architecture produces a cleaner result.

Instead of squeezing every service onto a single page, separate, high-quality landing pages can be used where there is genuinely different search intent.

Clarify who owns and prepares the content

A corporate website needs accurate content as well as design. Service descriptions, project examples, FAQs, images and contact details should be based on real business information.

Create content that helps customers make decisions instead of copying text or artificially stuffing it with keywords.

Test performance and technical quality

Oversized images, unnecessary JavaScript, heavy animations and poorly configured font loading can hurt mobile performance. Optimise image dimensions, lazy loading, caching and the loading order of critical resources while maintaining design quality.

Before launch, check 404 errors, broken links, form behaviour, canonical URLs and basic structured data.

Ask what support is included after launch

After launch, a website may need content updates, technical fixes, backups, security work or new functionality. The quotation should make clear how long maintenance and support last, what is included and how subsequent work will be handled.

This approach treats the website as a living part of the business's digital infrastructure, rather than a file delivered once and forgotten.
