Choosing a dev shop isn’t a vanity exercise; a sluggish site costs you leads every minute it lingers on the slow lane. In Jaipur’s crowded market, the wrong partner can bleed budget and brand credibility in weeks.
Below is the battle‑tested formula we use for every client that demands sub‑2‑second load times and a conversion engine built on Next.js.
Why Reputation Alone Doesn’t Cut It
Most agencies parade case studies like trophies. The truth? 68% of them hide the post‑launch performance numbers. We start by demanding live Core Web Vitals from the prospect’s last three projects.
Ask for the actual LCP, FID, and CLS values. If they can’t share a real dashboard link, walk away.
Technical Stack Must Match Your Future Roadmap
Don’t settle for a PHP shop if your roadmap calls for a headless React front‑end. One of our 12‑location rollouts in 2025 flopped because the vendor refused to migrate to Next.js, adding $8,200 in re‑engineering costs.
Ask these two questions:
- Can you deliver a static‑site generation build with incremental static regeneration?
- Do you have in‑house Node.js expertise for API integrations?
Quick Stack Vetting Checklist
- Confirm React/Next.js experience – request a GitHub repo link.
- Verify TypeScript usage – look for .ts files in the sample.
- Check server‑side rendering support – ask for a Lighthouse report.
Our rule of thumb: If a dev house can’t show a single production site under 2 seconds on a 3G test, they’ll never meet a 1 second KPI for a premium brand.
Pricing Transparency Beats Lowball Quotes
Many Jaipur firms quote “₹1,00,000 flat”. The hidden fees—security patches, CDN, post‑launch support—inflate the bill by 45% on average. We compare every quote against our transparent pricing plans and flag any line items that exceed a 20% variance.
Look for a breakdown that includes:
- Development hours
- Testing & QA cycles
- Maintenance SLA
Support Structure Is a Deal‑Breaker
One client in 2023 lost a seasonal promotion because the agency’s ticket system took 48 hours to respond. We require a 24‑hour SLA for critical bugs and a dedicated account manager.
Ask for a support matrix and a live chat link during the proposal stage.
