How much does the website cost? Ask the developer, and you will get even more questions: “What type of site do you need?”, “What structure, size, design, etc.?” Website development is an individual project, and its cost depends on certain factors. Moreover, the cost of the same orders from different contractors is often very different.
First of all, the price depends on the complexity of the work. The more complex and large the resource, the more expensive it is.
The design includes structure development, prototyping, design concept and layout. You can choose a template that the designer will finalize and customize for the functionality of the site, this approach does not require large expenses. Or order a unique project, the designer will draw all the elements of the site from scratch. It takes more time and costs more. Such a solution is necessary for image sites, otherwise, the choice depends on you.
Development
The more experienced the developer, the more expensive it takes for an hour of work, but it also works faster. The choice of a specialist’s rate depends on the complexity of the functionality. It is more profitable to give complex tasks to a specialist of the Middle or Senior level, simple ones – to Junior. Companies automatically distribute tasks within a team among specialists of the required level.
Administration system
To manage content without the help of specialists, you need a CMS. It will allow you to easily change prices, add new products and categories.
Again, two options. Ready-made CMS – universal, take into account all the needs of the owners – cheaper. Or an individual CMS – development from scratch for your needs – is more expensive.
Hosting
There are no cost restrictions, you can even take a free one. But there is an increased risk of losing visitors due to intrusive ads and disruptions. We recommend not to skimp on quality.
Search engine optimization
Internal optimization at the development stage will allow your resource to quickly reach the top for key queries and prepare it for further SEO promotion.
How the price depends on the executive
When choosing a contractor, you have at least three options: do it yourself, hire a freelancer and contact a web development company.
If you have the necessary skills and time, you can make a resource yourself. An alternative is a constructor with ready-made solutions. The result is a template solution, the price is your time.
Freelance services are inexpensive. But there are many pitfalls. Reliability always raises doubts, and entrusting such serious work to a stranger relying only on his decency is not a good idea. You also risk quality, finding an experienced specialist on a freelance exchange is not an easy task. And when one person is working on a project, the deadlines can be very delayed.
Ordering development from an IT company is not cheap. But the client’s success is a clear demonstration of the company’s professionalism. Therefore, you can be sure that the contractor is interested in the well-being of your business. When choosing, focus on reputation and experience.
Development of a resource is not a set of stereotyped actions: we create the design you like, make the necessary functionality, test it, fix it and you’re done. All factors that affect performance in a particular niche should be considered. Not everyone can cope with this task. Therefore, when creating a website, cheaper does not mean better.
