Website design and development

Imagine you are building a house. You can choose a ready-made one, where you only add your own furniture (this one will surely be cheaper), or you can choose to have it made completely according to your wishes and needs (this one will be more expensive).

The price will vary depending on what you want your house to look like. What are the items you cannot imagine your life without, which materials are close to your heart and which details are the ones that will make the final difference in appearance. Both the choice of furniture and the construction of the house have completely unique specifics.

It's the same when building a website – a basic website created by using a template (e.g. Wordpress) with a few sub-pages will cost less than a website that is custom-built (from scratch) with custom design, advanced features, and integrations with third-party services.

It’s the same with a website as is with a house, where the final price reflects its size, materials, and equipment. Project size, design and technical requirements reflect the final price.

Every project is unique.

Time to setup a website varies from customer to customer. At the beginning of a project, a timeline is set, which takes factors such as the complexity of the design, the number and type of functionality, integrations with other systems and the approval process by the client, etc... into account.

A simple website can take anywhere from a few weeks to a month to build, while complex websites with customized features and extensive content can take months to build.

The overall duration of the website development includes time for research and strategy, planning, design, programming, optimization, testing and all feedback and corrections from the client.

The choice depends on your specific needs, goals, and your budget.

A custom website can be completely flexible and unique, allowing you to precisely adjust the design, functionality, and user experience to your specific requirements. It is an excellent choice for companies with specific needs that go beyond standard solutions. However, it is true that custom development requires more time and a higher budget.

A WordPress website is often a faster and cheaper solution, but it still offers a high degree of customization using pre-made themes and plugins. WordPress is suitable for a wide range of websites, from blogs to online stores. It also comes with a wide range of resources and support, thanks to its large community.

At the end of the day, the decision will depend on your business goals, technical requirements and how important it is for you to have a website fully adapted to your needs.

A simple website includes only basics, for example a homepage, about us page, services (or offers) and a contact form. This type of a website is usually created from a ready-made template, is cheaper and has basic functionality, that is sufficient to represent the company online.

A complex website goes a step further by having a custom design that is fully compatible with the brand. It has the option for functionalities (such as booking systems, integration with external services (e.g. CRM systems), multilingualism, advanced search engine optimization (SEO), and other special implementations).

Complex websites also require more time to plan, design, program, and test to ensure smooth functioning and a great user experience on different devices.

We use WordPress (for a website made with a template) and Laravel ((for a custom website). If you are limited with a lower budget, then we advise you to use WordPress.

We install Filament or Statamic (an admin panel / content management system) on Laravel. The decision about which one to use is based on your requirements and functionality. But they are both easy to use and SEO friendly.
