How to choose a web development studio in Mallorca

Choosing who builds your website starts with deciding what you need it to do. Presenting services is different from selling products, accepting bookings or giving customers access to an account. Comparing quotes without clarifying that difference can mean paying for a delivery that does not solve your problem.

At SOM-OS, we work from Inca with businesses across Mallorca. These are the questions we recommend answering before commissioning a project, even if you ultimately choose another provider.

Define the outcome before asking for screens

Write down what your business does, who visits the website and what that person should do next. For example: understand a service and request a quote; browse a catalogue and buy; book an appointment; or access a document in their customer account.

If you already have a website, add what is going wrong today. Are enquiries a poor fit? Are contact requests getting lost? Is your offer unclear? The answer may lie in content, structure or integrations. Not every problem requires a complete redesign.

Ask for a scope you can review

A useful proposal explains pages, functionality, responsibilities and deliverables. Check who supplies the text and images, how many languages are included, how the work is reviewed and what your team needs to manage the website afterwards.

Topic	What needs to be defined
Content	Included pages, text, images and languages
Design	Mobile responsiveness and the review process
Features	Forms, bookings, payments, catalogue or private area
Technical SEO	Indexing, titles, links, sitemap and migration
Integrations	Connected tools and the limitations of their APIs
Handover	Code, access, documentation and agreed training
Continuity	Maintenance, support and extensions

Distinguish an informational website from an application

An informational website may need a simple structure and a content management system. An application adds users, permissions, data and business rules. That scope changes both the budget and the maintenance requirements.

A template or an existing product may be enough for a straightforward need. Custom development makes sense when you need specific workflows or connections. A provider should be able to explain why they recommend a particular option for your case.

You can compare our web development in Mallorca with our custom application service.

Check where requests end up

Ask to walk through the full contact journey: a visitor submits their details, the server confirms receipt and the team can follow up. Opening an email application is not the same as sending a message. Displaying a success notice does not, by itself, prove that the request arrived.

When several people handle enquiries, connecting the form to a CRM can preserve information and prevent duplication. Automations need to account for errors and alerts as well as the ideal journey.

When migrating a website, keep its useful addresses

Changing technology should not break links that your customers or Google already use. Ask for an inventory of the old pages and a redirect map to their equivalents. Check the domain, canonical addresses and Search Console after publishing.

Technical SEO prepares a website to be found. Rankings also require content that answers real searches and a reputation built over time. Be wary of promises of first place without an understanding of your market and your data.

Ask for examples you can understand

Look beyond images for an explanation of the problem and how it was solved. Our Sando Capital case study connects a website, database and appointments with AI. The showroom lets you try working examples with demonstration data.
