In order to succeed in this competitive market, having an online presence is a must. Having a website is important because your customers expect it. It helps them get contact information, make purchases, know more about your products/services, and stay updated with your business.
With more than 63% of the global population using the internet, not having a website is like missing out on a lot of business.
Advantages of Having A Website
Here’s how having a website can benefit your business:
Brand awareness
One of the main advantages of having a website is it can help your business improve brand awareness. When your website gets visible on search engines and social media channels, more and more people would know about your business.
24x7 online presence
Unlike a physical store, a website doesn’t require your presence all the time. Once the website is all set, any person from any corner of the world can visit it.
Cost-effective
Cost-effectiveness is another reason why you should have a website. Running and maintaining a physical store is way more expensive than maintaining a website. With a physical store, you will be paying for the rent, staff, etc. When doing online business, these aren’t expenses.
Market expansion
While an offline store is limited to a particular region, this isn’t the case with an online presence. With a website, you can improve your business visibility beyond your geographic location.
Beat competition
If your business is still without a website, you are missing out on potential customers. Your competitors already have a website and working on improving their web presence. With a website, you can stay ahead of your competitors and drive more sales.
How Long Does It Take To Build A Website?
You might be planning to launch your business website as quickly as possible, but you also want to create a beautiful-looking website.
So, how long does it take to build a website from scratch?
The answer to this question varies based on various factors like:
- The complexity of the project
- Whether you hire an agency or a freelancer
- Development process
- Your budget
The complexity of the project includes the type of website you want to create. Do you want to create a simple business website or a complex eCommerce store? How many pages your website will have? What functionalities do you want to add to your website?
Depending on whether you hire a web development agency or a freelancer, the time period may vary. That’s because development agencies/companies have dedicated teams for various tasks, while freelancers have a limited team. Hence, companies are more likely to deliver before the committed deadline.
The web development process differs from one company to another. So, how long it takes to build a website is also based on the process. It usually starts with research & selection and ends with the final review.
Last but not least, your budget can also affect the time duration. Quality developers are usually booked, so they can’t start working on your project immediately. If budget isn’t the problem, you can pay a premium to fasten the process.
Website Development Process
At Encircle Technologies, we have a team of talented web developers. To provide our clients with a fully-functional, beautiful-looking website, we follow these steps:
Collect information
First of all, we understand our client’s requirements. These include what type of website the client wants to create (static website or eCommerce website), their products/services, functionalities they want to add to the website, design requirements, etc.
Preparing a plan
Once we have all the information we need for website designing and development, the next thing we do is, prepare a plan. Once the action plan is ready, we share it with the client. The client then reviews the action plan to determine whether it matches their requirements.
Design mockup
After the action plan is ready, our team of designers starts working on the website design. Before starting the development process, we prepare a design mockup to provide a visual overview of the website.
Website development
The actual website development starts only after the mockup gets approved by the client. This is the stage in which our team takes the action plan and design mockup and turns it into a fully functioning, appealing website. During this stage, our team stays in contact with the client to provide regular updates about the project.
QA testing
Once the website is designed and developed as per the information received, it goes to our quality assurance team for review. QA team ensures there aren’t any type of glitches in the website.
Review & Launch
After the site is approved by our QA team, we send it to the client for review. If there are any revisions from the client’s side, we try to get those changes done as quickly as possible. After the final review, the website is all set to go live.
Final Thoughts
We can conclude that there are so many factors that affect the time duration of a website development project.
