Freelancers deliver most small-business websites in Uttarakhand, and the good ones are faster and cheaper than agencies. The risk is not skill — it is undocumented scope. This guide covers the paperwork that keeps a freelance project on track.
Write scope before design
List page names, revision rounds, who writes the content and what integrations are included. One page of scope prevents almost every mid-project dispute.
Add a definition of done: launched on your hosting, credentials handed over, forms tested, analytics installed.
Milestones instead of lump sums
A 40/40/20 split — advance, design approval, handover — protects both sides. Never pay 100% upfront, and do not expect a freelancer to work with nothing.
Red flags
Watch for these:
- No written scope or timeline
- Refusal to hand over hosting or domain access
- Portfolio links that are dead or password-protected
- Pricing far below market with no explanation
- Communication only through one social account
Support after launch
Agree an hourly rate or a small monthly retainer for edits, backups and plugin updates. Sites without a support plan degrade quietly and fail exactly when a campaign starts.
