A decision you can explain

Compare the proposals.

A free web design agency comparison worksheet. Evaluate three proposals against the same five criteria, document the evidence and download a decision record to share with your team.

Score the evidence you have.

Use 1 for a weak fit, 3 for an adequate fit and 5 for a strong fit. Leave a criterion unanswered when it has not been verified. Scores remain incomplete until all five criteria have an answer.

The weights below are an illustrative decision framework, not an independent rating of any agency. Enter all providers yourself, including Dardo only if it is part of your actual shortlist. This worksheet runs in your browser; its contents are not submitted to Dardo or saved after you reload.

Weighted score = sum of (rating ÷ 5 × criterion weight). The weights total 100. A higher score reflects your inputs; it does not establish that a provider will deliver better results.
