How much does it cost to create a website

This is one of the most frequently asked questions to which the only right answer is: IT DEPENDS.

 

To be able to estimate the approximate cost of a website development, any website development company will require at least some key information. In this article, we will show you how we make an initial estimate for creating a website.

 

Basic information for pricing:

1. What the website should be.
   In this section, we expect to get a general brief description outlining the industry and scope of your company. We want to know if the purpose of creating the website is to present services, sell products, blog, classifieds service or other.
   
   
2. What menu elements the website should contain and what kind of content it should present.
   It's not about presenting the exact content you have prepared. It is important to outline the type of content of a given subpage (e.g. whether it is to be a static page with content, a photo gallery or whether a given subpage is to contain more advanced functionalities such as an order form, a schedule, etc). If a subpage is supposed to divide into other subpages (e.g. an offer that is further divided into graphic design, website creation, implementation of online store projects etc), such information is also significant. The more detailed description we get, the more precisely we will be able to define "estimated price range".
   
   
3. It is also important to determine whether you have a logo, or whether it is also to be the subject of the order.
   
   
4. How many language versions your website should have

 

Information appreciated:

1. It will be appreciated to send the address of the current website, if there is one
2. If you know your direct competitors, please also provide links to their websites
3. You can also send links to websites that somehow illustrate what you expect from your website or websites that you like.

Such a query about the cost of creating a website should allow you to get the estimated costs of its implementation.

You will surely find out that by sending a brief to a few companies, you will get very divergent pricing, which will cause a confusion in your mind.

Are you wondering how it is possible that one company, with the same brief, offers to create a website for PLN 3,000 net, and another for PLN 6,000 net and more?

This price discrepancy is due to a number of factors. Let's discuss the key of them:

 

1. The page is made on a template and the page with individually prepared graphic design.
   Companies that make websites on ready-made templates often offer much more attractive prices than individually created designs. And here the question really is to you what you expect.
   Do you want your website to look like another one based on the same template or do you want your website to look unique.
   
   
2. CMS system - your administration panel for website management. We will prepare a separate article about the advantages and disadvantages of individual CMS systems, but in this we only list the available options. So, when you decide to create a website, you have 3 options
   1. No CMS system - very budget version, but without knowledge of the basics of programming / website coding, it will be difficult for you to make any changes to the website (practically such websites are not made anymore)
   2. Open source CMS for content management (Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, or for online stores Presta Shop, Magento, Wordpress with the addition of woocommerce and others) - this solution is usually cheaper
   3. Dedicated CMS system - i.e. software that will be written especially for you, for your needs - is usually a more expensive solution.
      
      
3. Agency and Freelancer - as a rule, the cost of creating a website in an interactive agency will be higher than directly with a freelancer, however, everything has its advantages and disadvantages.
   
   
4. Contractor's experience.
   It is not a rule, but usually an experienced team who has worked many hours with clients while creating websites will be more expensive than a contractor just starting work in this industry. People experienced in implementing websites, in addition to the appearance of the website being the subject of the order, also pay attention to the safety of websites, appropriate sanitization of variables, selection of technological solutions. You should ask yourself what quality the final product will be, whether the website will be properly optimized, whether the website will be written in such a way that it can be freely expanded in the future, etc. Remember that a beautiful website does not always mean a well-made website. The initial savings in selecting a Contractor may turn out to be apparent at the time of its use. Nor should one go to extremes. Choosing the most expensive offer also does not have to mean that the website will be perfect. You should use common sense here, analyze a potential contractor, see his projects, look for opinions on the Internet.
   
   
5. Implementation time
   This is often a key factor in website appraisal. If you want your website to be implemented very quickly, you have to take into account that its cost will be much higher, because it will require the Contractor to mobilize a larger team to work on your order

 

To sum up, in our opinion, it is impossible to clearly answer the question How much does a website cost without knowing the details.
