Define Your Needs

Clearly identify your objectives and the desired features for your website.

Check References
What types of projects has the agency completed? For which businesses or industries? Review the agency’s past work and read client testimonials to assess the quality of their services.

Expertise and Offered Services
Does the agency specialize in certain areas better than its competitors (SEO, UX/UI, custom development, hosting, etc.)? Is it up to date with the latest web technology and design trends?

Evaluate Communication
Good communication is essential for a successful project. Ensure that the agency is responsive and fully understands your expectations. A good indicator is how quickly and thoroughly they respond to your initial inquiry. How satisfied are their clients with the quality of service and responsiveness?

Compare with Competitors
Request detailed quotes from multiple agencies to compare included services and pricing. In Mauritius, web agency rates can vary significantly. Some high-end agencies charge tens of thousands of euros for a website or application, while others offer more affordable services with less customization and follow-up.

Experience and Expertise
With 15+ years of experience, Hypno.Luxo Ltd has built strong expertise, which may justify higher rates than the minimum but also ensures a solid return on investment. Our rates range from $50 to $90 per hour, depending on the service. This places us slightly in the higher range of the $40 and $100 per hour range commonly charged in Mauritius. However, thanks to our experience, we work more efficiently and faster, meaning fewer hours are billed to our clients.

Portfolio and Client Testimonials
A diverse and well-established portfolio, along with positive and detailed client reviews, indicates a high level of satisfaction with our services. If our pricing were excessive for the quality delivered, it would likely be reflected in client feedback. We invite you to read our client testimonials [here].
