A real website portfolio with reference contacts. Any web design expert can create their portfolio from free web design templates which looks perfect for making impression. SO you should ask them for real client and website development.
Cast study about previous web design project. Designing website require detail studying about industry to know certain things like color pattern and theme used in kind of websites related to your niche. You can ask for detail case study about previous designed site.
Few question about their business model or process they follow. Good companies follow certain process which requires executing steps in correct sequence. So good one always have web design process which involve things like research, client communication, audience analysis etc.
Company policy and copy rights. Some companies would provide you complete code of whatever you have asked and some keep those stuff with them so if any requirement of change occurs, you need to go again to the company. So read company policy carefully and see if it fit into your requirement.
Creating an seo friendly website is also important so that people can search your products.

It's time and quality, Quality website at agreed time must be delivered, with good customer care services.
