Review freelance quotes and handover through five concrete checks
Record five items: contribution in examples, scope, approvals, testing, and handover. Costs vary with functionality, copy, and support; a generic price range cannot replace the quote.
The transferable comparison is work and responsibility, including support after launch.
Check contributions and quoted scope
Ask which parts of example sites were completed. Specify pages, copy, images, functionality, revisions, and extra work.
Use equivalent content and features for competing quotes; a smaller scope differs from a cheaper equivalent service.
Plan approvals and tests explicitly
Schedule assets, approval, testing, and corrections, allowing internal approver time.
For user testing, describe the task without guiding people to the answer. (GOV.UK — Using moderated usability testing) Also test enquiry receipt before launch.
Define handover and further support
List delivered content, files, access, domain registration, and instructions. Agree contacts for faults and new content.
Have the editor test a price change and publication. Define support fees, exit arrangements, and observable handover completion.
