Sustainable Web Consulting
A sustainable website requires meeting a number of technical attributes that traditional web agencies are not able to achieve.
There is abundant literature on how to sell. However, not much of how to buy.
At first glance it seems super simple to buy a website development service. A price is negotiated, a web design and content are defined, approval is given and then if the site works on the buyer’s computer, it is closed.
The manager or person in charge of the purchase often simply “trusts” the agency and if it works for him, he is ready. However, once operational, common details and problems begin such as:
- Site doesn’t work on certain browsers
- Site uses JS scripts that generate console errors when users customize their browsers (e.g. user configures greater privacy)
- There are pages with HTTP instead of HTTPS
- 3 (annoying) pop-ups on the homepage
- Broken Links (404)
- It is difficult to navigate the site
- Mobile version is super slow
- The design breaks if the text is super long (or if the user increase font-size)
- The site doesn’t appear on the first few pages of search results
- It doesn’t work well if the user uses a VPN
- It is not possible to navigate with the keyboard (users with disabilities)
- A plugin has malware or is obsolete (platform use case)
- A few months have passed and the design looks old
- Site does not have recommended security settings being vulnerable to certain types of attacks
- If the user adds products to the shopping cart and there was just a price update, the system crashes
- Contact form not working
- Among others
A big part of the problem is not knowing how to buy.
A good, nice and cheap solution is to tie payments to certain verifiable tests.

The professional solution in software development is to have a web specification document at the time of purchase. This document details service levels, technical specifications and details that make it easy to accept/reject the acceptance criteria.
Injeniero offers the service for those companies that have already decided on the company that will develop the website in advance (whether for commercial, political or other reasons) however, it makes sense for them to have an external formalization that they can demand from said company to increase quality chances. In turn, we have extensive experience in software development and IT project management.
