Start with users, business tasks, content, integrations, accessibility target, internal ownership, launch deadline and total budget. Ask who researches, writes, designs, develops and tests; which work is subcontracted; what you own; where the code, domain, data and accounts live; how redirects, rollback, backups, security and incidents are handled; and what maintenance, licensing, hosting, change and exit costs apply. A visually impressive portfolio is not evidence that the same team can safely deliver your platform.
