1. Separate the build from the running costs
The build pays for the agreed pages, content layout, design, forms, and launch work. Hosting keeps the published website available. Domain registration and renewal are separate from both.
Ask when monthly billing starts, what happens if you cancel, and whether a supported transfer or export is available. At Avandria, managed hosting starts at launch and is month-to-month.
2. Compare the same website scope
Up to five mobile-friendly pages, service details, your approved photos, FAQs, one service inquiry funnel with up to five questions, one supported inbox or CRM connection, SEO/GEO setup, click-to-call, one booking link, basic tracking, a handoff video, and up to three revisions. New features and extra pages are quoted separately.
A simple five-page service website is a different project from an online store, an IDX real estate site, a customer portal, or a custom booking platform. Ask which work is included before comparing the headline prices.
3. Identify software and automation fees
A booking link can be simple. A live calendar integration, AI receptionist, SMS workflow, or CRM action can involve paid software, usage fees, and ongoing maintenance.
Ask for the setup charge, monthly fee, allowance, extra usage, and stop conditions. Make sure you understand which accounts remain in your name and which are operated by the provider.
4. Inspect real work and an actual preview
Open the provider’s published client websites. Check service information, mobile contact options, and the path to submit an inquiry. Keep design concepts separate from client work.
Avandria provides a private preview when the project fits. You approve the design and written scope before paying. A preview request is not a confirmed booking or delivery date.
5. Ask what search setup means
Page titles, headings, service information, FAQs, structured data, crawl settings, and a sitemap are a useful foundation. They do not guarantee indexing, first-page placement, or an AI recommendation.
Ongoing content, search reporting, advertising, and review collection are separate activities. Judge the plan by what will be delivered and how progress will be measured.
