How to Hire a Website Vendor

Navigating the Enterprise-Wide Web Contract

For campus units considering third-party support for their website design or development, Georgia Tech has an enterprise-wide contract in place that allows you to quickly get estimates from a group of pre-approved vendors.

In September 2025, the Institute finalized two enterprise-wide contracts for web projects:

  • One for projects less than $50K. [Small Web Projects]
  • One for projects greater than $50K. [Large Web Projects]

Every Georgia Tech unit seeking third-party website support must use a vendor from one of the enterprise-wide web contracts, even if your unit had previous website work delivered by another supplier or agency. Below, we've provided five steps to guide you in hiring third-party website support.
