Basics of Websites
So you want to have a website? Where does one start and how does one go about it? . Before you go about spending your hard earned money, there are a few questions that you will need to answer:
- Do you really need a website?
- If yes , what type of website do you really need?
- Will you update it yourself or will you get it updated for you ?
- Who is your audience? What type of information will they need?
- How much do properly constructed websites cost?
- What is your budget?
Do you really need a website?
For instance can you get by with just an email address for your clients to get in contact with you? If the answer is no, then we can proceed to the next few questions.
What type of site do you need ?
Notice that the question asked not the site you want, but the site you actually need. Many web designs studios and the likes tend to give bloated out solutions to many small business and load them with quite a few unesssary features such as blogs or cms solutions which are not really necessary.
But lets answer the questions simply. Websites range from single page site to fully e-commerse sites like Amazon and the likes. And so does the price also. Luxvis can provide timely solutions for small brochure type sites ( less than 10 pages ) that do not need to be updated regularly. This is what I specialize in.
So if you are after a small site, meaning less than 10 pages and do not plan on updating it yourself then we can speak. Get in contact with me!
What is your budget?
This is another important question. Many ask how much will it cost me. Straight up, the answer is not that simple because even single page websites can be expensive depending on their requirements and layout.
Most small business sites cost in the vicinity of $1000-$2000 ( that does not include domain name and graphics work). But to answer the question accurately we need to speak about your needs and how many features you want incorporated into your site such as contact forms, galleries, a mobile site layout etc.
What else do you need then?
- You will need a domain name- I can organise it with your approval
- A logo ( not necessary , but we suggest you spend some money getting it done.)
- A web hosting service- that is where your site lives on in the internet- I can organise it.
- You will need to provide me with photos of your business or products.
- You will need to provide me your text , that is the information you want to appear on the site.
