FAQ: Common Website Development Questions Answered

Planning a new website can bring up a lot of questions. As a web development company, we hear many of the same ones from prospective clients. To help you plan your project, we've compiled answers to the most common website development questions.

How much does a website cost?

This is the most common question, and the answer is: it depends. It's like asking "how much does a car cost?" A simple "brochure" website with a few pages might cost a few thousand dollars. A large e-commerce site or a custom web application with complex features could cost tens or even hundreds of thousands. The primary factors are the complexity of the design, the number of unique features, and whether it's built on a template or is a fully custom solution. We offer everything from Corporate Websites to complex E-commerce Platforms.

How long does it take to build a website?

Like cost, this depends on complexity. A simple marketing site might take 4-6 weeks. A more complex site could take 3-6 months or longer. The timeline is also heavily dependent on how quickly you (the client) can provide feedback, content, and approvals at each stage.

What is a CMS? Do I need one?

A CMS, or Content Management System, is a tool that allows you to update the content on your website without needing to know how to code. Yes, you almost certainly need one. The most popular CMS in the world is WordPress, but for more complex needs, a Custom CMS might be a better fit.

Should I use WordPress or a custom-built website?

This is a major decision. WordPress is great for simple, budget-conscious projects like blogs and small business websites. A custom-built site offers far better performance, security, and flexibility, making it the right choice for businesses that have unique needs or see their website as a core competitive advantage.

Will my website be mobile-friendly?

Absolutely. In 2025, there is no excuse for a website not to be mobile-friendly. All modern web development should use a "responsive design" approach, meaning the site's layout automatically adapts to fit any screen size, from desktops to smartphones.

What is web hosting? Do you provide it?

Web hosting is the service that stores your website's files and makes them accessible on the internet. Think of it as renting space on a server. Yes, we provide Scalable Hosting Solutions as part of our services, ensuring your site is fast, secure, and can handle your traffic.

What about website maintenance?

A website is not a "set it and forget it" project. It needs ongoing maintenance to ensure it remains secure and functional. This includes software updates, security scans, and backups. We offer monthly maintenance plans to handle all of this for you, so you can focus on your business.

Will I be able to rank on Google?

We build all our websites with SEO best practices in mind, including a clean code structure, fast loading speeds, and mobile-friendliness. This provides a strong foundation for SEO. However, ranking on Google also requires an ongoing content and link-building strategy. We offer dedicated SEO Services to help you with that.
