Nowadays, it's hard to imagine a modern business that keeps up with the times without a presence on the internet. A website always opens up unlimited opportunities for a company. Creating a website can serve various purposes. It can be simply the image component of a company, or conversely, a tool for quickly boosting sales. Larger projects serve to showcase a company's services and products and can transform into either an electronic catalog or an online store. There are also portals and services - development projects that can perform specific extensive sales or informational functions for a large number of users. It's important to remember that if a company is of an international format and has an orientation towards working with specific countries, then the more language versions the website has, the larger the audience it can reach. Business websites must be developed and promoted using various internet marketing tools because simply "creating a website" essentially means creating a dead product. If a decade ago creating quality websites was a priority for large enterprises, now a small company can enter the market through online sales, even despite high competition, thanks to a unique offering. The main thing is that all work, from creating a website to its promotion, is done by professionals.

Website development includes designing the site's structure and main page, creating a technical specification, adaptive design and layout of the site for various types of devices, animation effects upon request, and programming the functionality described in the technical specification. Also, website development includes filling the site with provided information in the form of photos and texts. You can find all the information about writing texts on the Copywriting service page. Sometimes we include basic website optimization in the cost, so that after the project is launched, the site immediately starts to be correctly indexed by search engines.

The minimum time for creating a small website, for example, a landing page, is 3 weeks or 15 working days. The average development time for a good and high-quality corporate website is about 4-6 weeks, or 20-30 working days in practice. As for online showcases and online stores, the objective time it takes to create them ranges from 1.5 to 3 months. The duration of any project can be significantly longer - it all depends on whether you understand the project structure and what information will be on each page. If you have all the materials ready for placement, such as texts, photos, tables, calculation formulas, import files, banners, etc., then this will significantly speed up the website launch process.

It's quite difficult to answer how much it costs to create a website from scratch right away. The cost of any project is calculated individually after communicating with the client and clarifying the details, or after providing a completed website development questionnaire. However, it can be definitively stated that our company will not do development below a certain cost. Our projects are divided into 4 types: landing page - from 700 USD, corporate website - from 1200 USD, and online store - from 3500. Want to know the cost of website development? Take a survey - we will make a quick calculation.

A template is a ready-made solution for website development, in which 50% of the project is already implemented from the start. The time spent on setting up a template is incomparable to the costs of custom development. Typically, working with a simple template takes 10-20 hours (in our case, it's 200 - 400 USD). With a template, you already have a designed layout, and the programmer only needs to understand how everything is set up inside and fill the site with the right information. Custom development costs more because a team of 3 to 5 people is involved in the project. And each does their part of the tasks according to unique design and layout requirements. The minimum time for custom development is 30 hours, hence our base cost of website creation starting from 700 USD. Template-based project development has its drawbacks - if you want to deviate from the template and develop the project in a non-standard way, this often leads to problems since the system may not even be designed for the simplest modifications.

Many clients do not know where to start when developing a website. Moreover, different web studios have different principles of working with clients. Therefore, let's try to answer the question - what do you need to know before creating a website? First, you need to understand who the main competitors of your company are and whether they have websites. By analyzing the websites of competitors, you need to understand what you like and what you don't like about them. After that, you should think about the structure of your website. This is a kind of "tree" of folders, like in the Windows File Explorer on your computer. Next, determine the main colors of the website and the key information that should be on the homepage of the website. It's very important that visitors to the site immediately understand what the company does and can easily ask a question or order a service/product. This data is sufficient to go to any web studio and find out the cost of the project.
