Website Development
Simple Case or Crucial Tool?
The construction of a website is usually presented as a simple matter. If this perspective convinces you, probably the result of your company’s website will be typical and will not make any difference of the rest sites that are already online, just because it is a must as the development of technology is increasing or because the competition imposes it.
But is this what you only expect from your business? Or a page - tool which is capable to reach your goals, which expresses your company's values over time, attracts internet users, is functional and helps users to stay longer, giving them a pleasant experience?
Initial steps to building a website
The website you create should be able to express you, inspire you and anticipate your own needs
Why should I create a right website?
Many times you may have wondered: Why should I build a website? Why should I bother and get into those expenses? Is it because all have one? Because it's common? Definitely not for all of this, but because it is necessary.
Without the presence of a website, your business "does not exist". It is your passport to your customers or even to foreign markets. It may seem weird, but if someone searches for you and you do not have a website, he will even doubt the existence of your company. It is like you are trying to travel without a passport.
Successful and strong companies know this very well and for this reason, they emphasize and pay special attention to their website.
What will I gain from an Excellent Website:
Projection
Ensures a complete presentation and it is in itself a mean of promotion. Read 10 “Principles for Proper Website Design”.
Validity
It expresses the prestige, size, quality, and values of an organization.
Marketing
It can become a powerful marketing tool and which will make your sales stronger.
Why should I redesign a website while I already have one?
It is true that technology in web design and their management is constantly changing at a very fast pace. The technology that is currently considered as the cutting-edge technology will, in a few years, be considered obsolete.
So what do you have to do to make the most profitable and right decision?
- Spend time to observe your competitors' websites. It would be unpleasant for you if they are evolving and you aren’t.
- Write down positive points from your competitors' website, which are considered successful benchmarks, as well as bad practices of others that you prefer to avoid.
- Record your company's developments and see if they have been incorporated into your website or if they can be integrated with its existing structure.
- Clearly, define the goals you want to achieve with your website.
Is it time for a change? You will get to know that if:
Even if you once had made the ideal website and you had moments of glory with it, it is time to redefine the crucial success factors based on the today's facts.
If the decision you eventually took proves that it still generates additional costs for your business, it means that either the goals you have set are not clearly defined or you have not got the right guidance. You will not save money by keeping an old fashion website, nor by upgrading the existing one in the wrong way.
Instead, you have a loss in both prestige and sales, which can be prevented by a new, properly structured page. Make a market research to companies of the specific industry and address to them in order to take one more opinion.
According to Kathimerini survey
"Electronic" maturity now captures Greek users, who are buying more and more products and services over the Internet, shopping on the go mainly via mobile phones, while the use of social media is characterized by the increased interactivity.
I want a simple website, is there something like that?
The answer is straightforward.
- Τhere is no simple page.
- There is a bad and a good page.
- Εffective and ineffective, handy or chaotic.
Simple doesn’t necessarily mean bad. But a seemingly simple result implies complex processes.A website requires systematic preparation and work.
Financial circumstances, prompting stakeholders to resort to very economic, simple and ultimately inefficient solutions. A website should be counted as an investment that will yield in time and not as a cost-effective fixed cost. Only one incorrectly crafted page creates costs, instead of a properly constructed page that will be effective and yield revenue.
How to choose the right company
The most important factor is to choose the right company to build your website.
Do not consider your website as a less important investment than your other investments. Dedicate it time to make a market research.
Cost of website construction
Do not end up with a low cost emergency solution, because over time it will be proved as a much more expensive solution.
The first thing that comes to mind of most of the people is if a website is expensive or not. The answer is that the lack of a website costs much more. A website can cost from very little to too much, depending on your needs and also depending on how complex and complicated it is going to be.
The result of the hard work that is been done is the cost but definitely, it should not be determined as the main factor. You should take into consideration if the price of the web site constructions is perfectly consistent with the result.
Since money is not an unlimited good, a smart solution is to analyze your budget with seriousness and accountability, as you do with your every investment. It is better to know and control the cost than to move on without any specific plan.
With a great responsibility, we will be in a position to reassure you whether the cost is in line with what you have in mind for your website or your actual needs.
If you are not able to afford the needs of your website it is wiser to not start your project.It's best to return at any moment that your budget allows.
Cost factors
The cost of a website can range from very low to very high levels.
The factors that affect and determine the cost are:
- The complexity and the size of the site
- The selection of the technology and type of the web page you will choose. There are "ready" low-cost solutions and custom-made solutions that are "stitched" to you and your company's needs.
- The content, either in texts or in artwork and images to be purchased.
- Vertical integration of the company's services that will construct your page. Expatriation to outsourcers can significantly raise the.
