1. Where is your office, exactly?
A city name in a page title costs nothing to write. A specific, checkable street address is a different kind of claim — ask for it directly, and check it matches what's listed on their Google Business Profile. A company genuinely based in Mohali will answer this without hesitation.
2. Can you walk me through your process?
A company that actually builds the site should be able to describe scoping, design, development and launch in plain, specific terms. Vague or evasive answers here are one of the clearest signs the work is being passed to a third party you'll never speak to.
3. Who will I actually be working with?
Find out whether the person you're talking to is the person building the site, or a sales contact for an outsourced team elsewhere. It changes both accountability if something goes wrong and how accurately your requirements get understood in the first place.
4. What do I own once the project is finished?
Confirm in writing that the domain, hosting account and source code will be registered in your name — not held by the agency as leverage for future work. This single question resolves more disputes than almost any other.
5. What does the quote actually include?
Get pages, revisions, SEO setup, and post-launch support written down before paying anything. A lower quote that quietly excludes SEO or support usually costs more later, once those gaps need filling in separately.
Five questions, five honest answers
- Exact office address, checkable against Google Business Profile
- A clear, specific description of their build process
- Who you'll actually work with, named directly
- Domain, hosting and code ownership confirmed in writing
- Full scope of the quote, with nothing quietly excluded
Where these answers come from
Every one of these questions is answered plainly on the Mohali web development page — real office, real process, and ownership terms stated outright rather than left to be asked about later.
FAQs
How do I know if a "Mohali web developer" is actually based in Mohali?
Ask for the exact office address and check it against their Google Business Profile — a genuine local company will give a specific, checkable address without hesitation, not a vague "we serve the Mohali area."
Is it a red flag if a company can't explain their own process?
Yes — a company that actually builds your site should be able to describe, in plain terms, the steps from scoping to launch. A reseller passing work to a third party often gives vague or evasive answers about how the work actually gets done.
Should I ask who will actually be doing the work?
Yes — ask specifically whether the person you're talking to is the person building the site, or a sales contact for an outsourced team. That answer affects both accountability and how accurately your requirements will be understood.
