Question
What are the red flags when hiring a web
Developer red flags decoded - domain hostage-taking, no contracts, cash-only, and the warnings that save thousands.
The straight answer
Red flags: domain/ hosting bought in THEIR name and ‘we will handle everything’; no written proposal (scope amnesia follows); cash-only with no invoices; portfolio sites that do not load; ‘cheap because I am new’; hostility when you ask about ownership; no maintenance answer (‘call me if anything happens’). Each one alone is a warning; two together are a no.
