Getting Started

Opting for a website-building platform?

Website building platforms are ideal solutions for creating straightforward and static websites, including blogs, online shops, and business websites. These platforms, such as Wix and Shopify, offer user-friendly interfaces that empower individuals and businesses to establish their online presence.

Pros

Designed for prompt launch: If you wish to set launch to website as soon as possbile, the ready-made tools make this ideal to set you off your journey as quick as possible

Many features to choose from: These platforms offer many standard features that you may wish to add and customise

Cheaper Set-up fee: The setup fee for setting up such website will be cheaper than coding a website from scratch

Cons

Standard features: Even though these platforms offer a wide variety of ready-features, if your business needs are very specific and/or may require more complex operations, it may not be able to cater for your needs

Monthly/Yearly Fee: Website-building platforms offer these services for a fee that is subscription based which you may wish to consider and compare to the hosting fees (more info here). Some of the features and functionality may come at an extra fee

Opting for a custom made system?

Pros

Tailored Functionality: No matter what you want your website to handle it can be done! From custom-made information-portal to administration management systems

Ownership: You own the code of your custom website. This means you have the freedom to host it wherever you choose and will not be effected by any changes/updates from a specific platform or provider.

Cons

Higher initial investment: A custom-made system will be tailored to your needs and each functionality needs to be developed from scratch and therefore each feature and page added will incur a seperate fee depending on the compexity of the scope

Well-known requirements: Ensuring clarity in your project requirements is essential, as it serves as the foundation for a successful custom-coded website. Transparent communication about your specific needs, functionalities, and design preferences will contribute to a smoother development process and help manage expectations, potentially impacting timelines and costs

What Does it involve?

Creating a website requires two important things: a unique web address (domain name) and a place to store your website's files and make it accessible on the internet (hosting service). It's important to know that getting these services involves paying fees to third-party providers. Your web address, like your online home, comes with an annual fee, and the hosting service, which keeps your site running, has its own costs based on the hosting plan you choose. Knowing about these fees upfront helps you plan and make informed decisions as you start your website journey.
Website-building platforms often provide all-in-one solutions, including tools to create your site, hosting services, and sometimes even a domain name.
