Website development for US businesses: working with an offshore team
By Kiara DalmiaContent Writer, Advorize
The short answer
US businesses hiring an offshore web team should require WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility, Core Web Vitals budgets, card and wallet payments, documented code they fully own, and planned overlap with US working hours — with a fixed scope and milestones agreed in writing.
Key takeaways
- Put accessibility and performance targets in the contract.
- You should own the code, domains and accounts from day one.
- Agree overlap hours and a weekly demo.
- Fixed-price phases beat open-ended hourly billing.
What to agree up front
- Accessibility: WCAG 2.2 AA, tested with keyboard and screen reader.
- Performance: LCP under 2.5s on mobile, INP under 200ms.
- Payments: Stripe or your processor, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
- Ownership: repository, hosting and analytics in your accounts.
- Rhythm: overlap hours, a weekly demo and a shared board.
