Websites That Put Your Business Ahead Online

The time it takes to create a website can vary dependent on the type of website (for example, is it an information/services site, or is in an ecommerce website?) and its complexity. We custom design and custom build websites as each client is unique with different requirements. These requirements are assesed to determine the budget and timeframe for delivery. But as a rough guide...

How long does it take to build a WordPress website?

On average, a smaller 5-10 page custom designed brochure site built on the WordPress CMS typically takes around 4-6 weeks. More complex WordPress websites with a broad range of business integrations can take up to several months.

How long does it take to build an eCommerce website?

A standard eCommerce website built on Shopify can be created in 3-6 weeks with good preparation (and an organized client!). More customised Shopify sites with more complex integrations can take longer to build and deploy. Payment gateways, shipping methods, product descriptions, and product photos must all be planned out for the seamless launch of an eCommerce website.

Just like the question above, this can vary depending on sereval aspects of the project, such as how big the website is (number of pages) and the features and functionality that is included in the website. Contact us today for a obligation-free quote based on your unique requirements.

Websites are a crucial component of every modern business, so it's critical that you create a high-quality website, that is optimised to perform well, a website that creates a sense of trust around your brand.

We recommend hiring a professional website designer because this ensures that all necessary features are covered. This may not be possible if you do your own website design because each area requires a high level of skill and experience. If you work with the best web developers and designers, you are more likely to get a better performing website that will work hard for your business.

What platforms do you use to build a website?

At Web Development Agency, we use a few different platforms, depending on the type of project, and the unique requirements of each client

.
For most sites, we use WordPress. WordPress allows us to create websites for a variety of budgets, it has a wide range of plugins that allow for site growth, it allows for great SEO optimisation, and our team can provide outstanding ongoing support.

For eCommerce sites, we use Shopify for the vast majority of sites, and wooCommerce for bigger, more complex shops.

For complex sites and applications, we build on the Symfony framework and Laravel.

What are the benefits of using WordPress as opposed to the do-it-yourself online site builders?

WordPress offers greater flexibility and functionality. It's a sophisticated platform that enables for more customisation and is powerful enough to be extended to do more. Website builders and page builders do not allow you to easily move beyond their offered templates and can be functionally constrained. WordPress, on the other hand, when built by a good developer that has a good understanding of coding, will allow you to create a website that is customised to fit your unique requirements.
