Choosing a web designer in Prague can feel like comparing apples and oranges. Freelancers, small studios and large agencies all promise a beautiful website, and their prices range from a few thousand crowns to several hundred thousand. These ten questions help you see past the sales pitch and find the right fit for your business.
1. Can I see websites you have built?
A web designer's own homepage tells you little. Ask for live websites they have designed for real clients, ideally businesses like yours. Open them on your phone: are they fast, clear and easy to use? You can see examples of our work on our web design in Prague page and in our website concepts.
2. Who actually designs and builds my website?
Some agencies sell the project and pass it to a subcontractor. That is not always bad, but you should know who you are working with and who to call when something needs fixing.
3. What exactly is included in the price?
Ask for a written list: number of pages, languages, contact or booking forms, an online shop if you need one, and basic search setup. A clear scope prevents surprise invoices later.
4. How long will it take?
A simple site can launch in about a week; a larger site with booking, two languages or an online shop takes a few weeks. The biggest delay is usually waiting for texts and photos, so ask what the designer needs from you and when.
5. Will I approve the design before you build it?
A good process shows you the design first, lets you request changes, and only then starts development. Changing a finished build is slower and more expensive.
6. Do I own the website and the domain?
This is the question most business owners forget. Make sure the domain is registered in your name and that the finished website is yours, not rented on a platform you can never leave.
7. Will it work well on phones?
Most of your customers will see your site on a phone first. Ask how the design adapts to small screens and how fast the pages load.
8. Will customers be able to find it on Google?
A web designer does not need to be an SEO agency, but the basics should be included: clear page titles, fast loading, a page for each service, and a link from your Google Business Profile.
9. What happens after launch?
Ask how changes are handled and what they cost. Some designers include a support period; others charge per hour. Either is fine as long as you know in advance.
10. How will the website bring me customers?
The best web designers start with your customers, not with colours. Every page should lead to one clear action: call, book, request a quote or buy.
Comparing offers
Put two or three offers side by side and compare scope, ownership and timeline, not only the price. A cheaper website that nobody uses is the most expensive option. Our guide on how much a website costs in Prague explains typical price ranges.
