Web Site Maintenance: 10-Querry Guide to Replacing Your E-Commerce Platform

Q9: When evaluating vendors, do you ask to see samples of sites they’ve built? Do they have live examples of all the critical functionalities you’d like to see on your site? Then be sure you like the design, drill-down, shopping cart and checkouts.

If a vendor can’t show you samples or give references of prior work, proceed with caution. Another key question to ask is whether they have clients of a similar size to you. You don’t want to be too small or too large for the vendor you choose.
