Steps
- Channel your inner detective. Do some research. The Internet is a powerful tool...use it. You could check out the BBB or find out how others view their services.
- Don't be afraid to ask for references. Any developer worth his salt will have them and won't mind sharing them with you.
- Don't pay up front. Half at the outset and the other half with a delivered quality project is an accepted method.
- Trust your instincts. If it's too good to be true, it probably is. Did they contact you without any prompting on your part. While this doesn't mean they are a poor developer, but it should raise some red flags for exercising due caution.
- Be careful when offering them access to your site. Create accounts with only the permissions they need. When the job is done, delete the account.
Tips
- This will work with just about any type of developer.
Warnings
- Exercise due caution
