Website Development

It depends on the number of pages, the depth of design work and how ready your content is. As an indicative range, a basic corporate website takes around 4 to 8 weeks, while projects with member areas or third-party integrations may take 12 to 20 weeks. Each vendor states its expected timeline in the quotation.

Typically requirements analysis, interface design, front-end and back-end development, content upload, testing and launch. Whether the domain, hosting, ongoing maintenance and copywriting are included varies by vendor, so compare these items line by line.

If the site is mainly for presenting content, the budget is limited and you want to update content yourself, a ready-made platform is usually more cost-effective. If you need complex business logic, member features or integration with internal systems, a custom build offers more flexibility. You can state that both options are acceptable and let vendors recommend based on their expertise.

Most vendors offer monthly or annual maintenance plans covering security updates, backups and minor changes. Hosting can be managed by the vendor or purchased by you from a cloud provider. Confirm the maintenance scope, response time and fees at the quotation stage.
