Make the comparison fair

Use the same brief, dates, and payment basis for all three options. Leave an amount blank until it is answered, and mark zero only when the absence of a charge is confirmed. The upfront subtotal adds the three entered amounts; it excludes recurring quotes and anything not entered. It is not a complete estimate, currency conversion, provider rating, or recommendation.

Record where each answer came from and the date. Resolve unanswered must-have requirements before choosing. Use the step-by-step comparison guide for a detailed checklist, then browse design proposals to build your shortlist.
