These aren't trick questions. They're the ones whose answers change what you're actually buying when someone offers to build you a website.
A low price isn't the problem. A low price hiding what isn't included is. Each question comes with what a good answer and a bad answer sound like, so you can judge on the spot.
The other seven tell you whether the price is fair. These three tell you whether you'll ever be able to leave.
The domain is your address on the internet. Whoever is on the registration owns it — not whoever pays, not whoever uses it.
What can happenThe day you want to switch providers, you either pay whatever they ask or lose your site, your Google presence and your email all at once.
Site and email live in the same place: the DNS records. Someone editing those without knowing takes the email down — and the site stays up, so nobody notices.
What can happenYou find out three days later, wondering why nobody replied to your quote.
A one-off payment covers the work of building. Staying online is a recurring bill, and it belongs to someone.
What can happenA forgotten bill means a site that's offline with no warning, usually over a weekend.
None of these answers is wrong on its own. What matters is knowing before you sign, not after you request your first change.
This is where most disputes live. “Site finished” and “site the way you wanted it” tend to carry different prices.
A site in three languages isn't a translate button: it's three addresses, because Google doesn't read hidden text as content. Without that, someone searching in Portuguese won't find you.
It's what tells Google the site exists. Without it Google finds you anyway, it just takes longer and may not find every page.
For a local business it's what brings customers — more than the site does. Someone searching in your city sees the panel with photo, phone and reviews first.
You'll want to change a price, a photo, an opening time. The question isn't whether you'll need it — it's how long you'll wait.
It doesn't have to be a lawyer's document. It has to say what's included, what it costs, and what happens if either side wants out.
If your business is registered in the United States, a website is a deductible expense — but only with documentation your accountant will accept.
