I would start with a small task if possible.
It can help you see how the developer communicates and handles problems.

Portfolio examples are very important when hiring remotely.
They give you a better idea of the quality you can expect.

I agree that the cheapest option isn't always the best.
Good development work can save you headaches later.

Make sure you discuss ownership of the website and source code.
It’s better to clarify those details before the work begins.

I would also ask about availability during the project.
A developer can be talented but difficult to reach when you need updates.
