There are hundreds of web agencies in Tunisia, and quality varies enormously. Missed deadlines, sites that don't load on mobile, broken SEO promises — the market is full of negative examples. Here's how to avoid the traps.
Criterion 1: portfolio with verifiable links
Ask for real site examples with URLs you can visit. Test them on mobile. Check their speed on PageSpeed. If the agency refuses to show its portfolio or only offers screenshots — walk away.
Criterion 2: announced vs real timelines
Ask for contractual deadlines and penalties for delays. Serious agencies commit to precise timelines. Agencies talking about 'a few weeks' without specifics are preparing an excuse.
Other important criteria
- Verifiable and recent Google reviews
- Clear contract with intellectual property transferred to the client
- Modern technologies (Next.js, React rather than old WordPress)
- Identifiable team with real people
- Transparency on any outsourcing
