It will be advisable to build each page yourself if you want total control over every aspect of your new online store. One choice is to hire someone to code your website. If you choose to do this, take the following actions: 1. Request to see actual examples of the company's work; 2. Describe in great detail the website you wish to be constructed. To avoid confusion, the more information, the better; 3. Confirm that you are aware of the cost and the number of revisions that are covered by the cost; 4. Prior to beginning business, always have a formal agreement or contract; 5. Find out whether the designers will host your website and if you can maintain it yourself or if you have to pay extra for the design agency to handle any updates; 6. Request that your firm be given the copyright of your design, as your website is a significant piece of your organization's intellectual property; 7. Specify in your contract how the arrangement may be amicably terminated if something goes wrong.
