WEBSITE NECESSITIES

THE RUN-DOWN IN DETAIL

First of all, website costs relate to the scale of your project, in terms of how many pages your website requires and how much is going on them. Pages with few images and a standard layout are much less time-consuming to produce than more detailed arrangements.

Next, there is the scope of your project. This relates to the functionality required from your site development. For example, you may need eCommerce, or a booking or membership system, in addition to your regular site pages.

Then, there are the domain name, hosting, and maintenance costs.

And, once you are ready to launch, you may want your site promoted well to generate new traffic and have high rankings on search engines.

Last of all you need to consider the development process itself. For smaller businesses we have a built-in step-through process which coordinates work between us and our clients in an easy and straightforward manner.

But for larger organisations, involving several of your staff in the project, a more intricate process is required to keep the project moving as quickly as possible. It is important to plan well in these cases to minimise costs on your side. For these types of projects, we employ wireframes, project briefs, and SRS development.

Also relating to the development process is considering what type of CMS (Content Management System) will best suit your organisation. Different types of in-house edits are possible, and the type of CMS you choose needs to suit both your capabilities and requirements.
