Should I hire a freelancer or a web development company?

Hire a freelancer for a small, well-defined page. Hire a company when you need design, engineering, QA, and someone accountable if a person is out. Complexity and continuity are the deciding factors.

What does a good web development proposal include?

A good proposal lists pages, integrations, timeline, assumptions, what you will provide, and what you own at the end. If those are missing, you are buying a vibe, not a build.

Five questions that sort serious teams from slide decks

You do not need a 40-page RFP. You need answers you can reuse in a contract.

Who is the project manager, and do they stay after the sale?
Will I see working demos, or only a big reveal?
What do I own — code, Figma, hosting, analytics?
What happens after launch if something breaks?
Can you show a project with a similar constraint to mine?

Red flags we would walk away from too

A price before a page list. Unlimited revisions with no definition. “We will figure out SEO later.” A team that cannot name the stack. Hosting you are not allowed to access.

How Intelligic runs this

The people who quote the work are the people who ship it. You get a dedicated project manager, transparent timelines, and a handover where the accounts are yours.

If we are not the right fit, we will say so. A bad match wastes both calendars.
