Website Creation & Prices

Website creation and prices

Author Biktimir Nail.

When it comes to the cost of creating a website, customers are trying to get away from this issue and not order the site at all, as if they would now call such a heavenly price, which almost every lifetime will have to pay off. And when he still calculates the cost of the site, he has such a feeling, as if this price was taken from the sky and all the programmers are crooks. But if we still overcome this fear and come to grips with this issue, everything will immediately become clear. Yes, the creation of a website is worth the money, because it invests in it, and any work, as a rule, must be paid. No one will create a website for you. In this case, we mean a site that can bring a positive, not negative, reputation of your activity.

But such a thing as creating a website is quite stretchable. Many compare the creation of the site with the construction of the house, by the way, I fully agree with this, unless they compare prices. Imagine a situation, say, you decided to build a house, since you do not have time and certain knowledge, you decide to contact a certain firm. You come and say "Build a house for me." And what kind of house? Of what we will build? What kind of square will he have? Unknown. The same is done in the sphere of creating websites. Programmers are horrified when faced directly with the customer. Because the customer orders something indefinite. They literally speak different languages. Hence, there are unprecedented prices. The programmer thinks I am suffering so much with him, and he does not want to pay me for it. A client is frightened and puts off the idea of creating a site in a remote box.

Programmers need to know what the client needs, so that the client does not overpay extra money and that developers do not waste time creating something vague. But to correctly understand the customer when creating a site, his oral speech is not enough, we need some more information, if, of course, it is, which will be on the site, in our company it is called content. When you order a house, you give the firm even its layout or just say the area of the future house, and everything else is taken over by the firm. The company can also work on creating websites. That is, at your request, the important details of the site are designed by the company itself, but you can also tell yourself, transfer everything to details and emphasize exactly what you need, it will not affect the cost in any way. With this you will immediately need to decide.

So all the same, how do you calculate the cost of creating a website? In the creation of the site there are some concepts: volume, functionality, reliability and time indicator. Using the phrase time indicator, we mean the time span during which the site will be created, in other words, it can be replaced with the word priority. A reliable site means a site that is completely immune to system errors. That is, if there was an error on the site, which is not excluded during serious work, the program will correctly register it, save it for the administrator and will not cause any serious consequences. Also, the concept of reliability can be combined with the word safety. This means that the software that you purchase will comply with all security standards and will be more resistant to attacks on the network.

As for the functionality, then I think everyone will be much clearer if you ask such a question - what functions the site should perform? For example, the site should have news, a photo gallery, a guestbook, a survey and so on. The more such functions, the greater the amount of work. One more factor can be attributed to functionality, this change. For example, some time has passed and your site is already visited by users, you want to open a new section on the site, but, alas, the design of the site does not allow this. To avoid such frustration, it is necessary to stipulate such a factor in advance. Should the site, at your request, quickly change radically or not, it is flexibility and functionality.

The volume, probably, is already clear to everyone, in part it will depend on all the other items. So, when you consider the cost of creating a website, imagine these four concepts in the form of sliders. It is necessary to increase the value of reliability, then the amount of work will increase and, accordingly, the price will become higher. Reduce the functionality, and the volume will also go down, followed by the price. Increase the time to create a site, that is, reduce its priority, then the price will go down. Of course, I can not say for all programmers who estimate the cost of projects, I only speak for our company, so they count the cost for us.

That's why it's so important to know us and yourself, the purpose of the project. And it's not enough, just say - I need a website, I still need to reveal the very essence of the site, for what and who needs its existence. Once in Bashkortostan, I met a man, or rather with a customer. For some reason, we could not meet at our office, and we had to discuss everything in coffee. In addition, the time was summer. So, this wonderful man was very well prepared in advance and immediately began to explain to me what site he needed. He told all the details how and where he wants to locate the main menu, how news should open and much, much more. I was even a little surprised, usually people who live not only in Bashkortostan need to pull out all the information and constantly explain something. It seemed that he himself once worked on the creation of sites, but in reality he was not with this sign, just saw a lot of sites on the Internet.

Of course, to explain what you know is not difficult, or rather even interesting. But this man made a very big impression on me. A month later we again met with him, but already with a ready work. The cost of his project has significantly decreased, because he very well and clearly set the goal, thanks to this, the developers quickly created what was needed, saving time. He himself was a journalist, and his site was devoted to news, he constantly spread interesting news about our Bashkortostan. Do not hide the fact that we are still good-natured acquaintances. Surely he will read this article.

In addition to the four concepts that we discussed above, there are some other factors that affect the cost of the site. The most important is, probably, a template variant or a template approach to creating a website. What is a template? A template is a specific piece that already exists. In most cases, it is downloaded on the Internet even before the client appears. I call these people scammers, because in a literal sense they deceive the client. They download ready-made versions of the appearance of the site on the Internet and begin to mold something from it, such programmers have a lot not only in Bashkortostan.

Firstly, this appearance for the creation of the site, called design, was downloaded completely for free, and the client paid for it. Well, and secondly, this design download hundreds of people and apply to their sites. Here you have ordered a site, paid for it money, and such a site will be on the net not one. I think the client will not be very pleased. Of course, some firms make ready-made templates, but they do this only to save their own time and do not upload to the Internet for public access, and after use it is simply deleted. That is, not always the company has orders, there is a time of calm, and there is a large influx. During a lull, as a rule, one should prepare for an influx.

A template is necessary in any case. First, the site develops a master page, which is the template or basis for the entire site. I said it was developing, not stealing or downloading. Then, on the basis of this template, that is, on the basis of the main page, secondary pages are created. So correctly create sites. Scammers are ready to give you not their works literally for a penny, for example for 3000 rubles they will gather you a large site with a beautiful appearance, but with a leaky system. And then find, most likely you can not, so be vigilant.

We should also mention ready-made software. As a rule, these companies develop a finished product for people. That is, you simply download from the official site the program you need or buy on the disk. Acquire the key and just use it. For example, so sell online stores, and not just them. You have to choose the appearance of the site from the list proposed to you, fill it with goods and other information. To use this program, you do not need any knowledge in the field of creating websites, everything is clear to a simple user. This choice is quite convenient, because due to its mass nature, the product loses its price. But in such systems there are both pluses and minuses. Let's analyze them in more detail.

Pluses I think we already stressed, this is noticeably falling price, well, and accordingly it's fast, that is, you do not need to wait a whole month to open, for example, an online store. But as far as minuses are concerned, there are more of them than just a lot. First, all rights to your store will belong to the company that provided you this system. Therefore, you have the right only to use it. Viewing, changing the code or reselling the key is already considered a copyright infringement. The second minus is mass. Since all codes are in the clear and freely accessible for viewing, this means that your site becomes vulnerable to, for example, competitors or simply intruders.

Despite the fact that they have many drawbacks, our company in Bashkortostan is also developing such systems. Because in each case there should be an approach and the finished software is also no exception. But often there are cases when a group of people rewrites the system to create a site and destroys its protection. Then, in a literal sense, they begin to stamp sites on order with this system. Rewriting it is not very difficult, because the Internet application is distributed with open source. That is, you need to be very vigilant when you are offered to create a corporate site for 3000 thousand rubles. In this case, not only they violate the law on intellectual property, but you also do it.

Since the system for creating a site is designed for the client in one instance, with one key and only for use by purpose. Any codes that you buy in this case are protected by copyright and as such do not belong to you. When you buy such a system for creating a site, you should take this into account. But if you order the creation of a site, in this case the company will give you the full right over these software codes. Of course, everything is controlled by the contract, but the more you become the owner of this site and can do whatever you want without fear of copyright infringement.

Starting from the above, I would like to sum up. Probably, you remember about four important components when creating a site. Based on the fact that they can be changed, you can control the price and functionality of your future site. Our company KAINS.RU creates literally any sites, from small to large. If you want to make yourself a resume in the form of your photo and text information, and publish on the Internet, then such an order will not cost one thousand rubles. Or maybe you want to recreate the site of the largest portal in the Russian Internet, its price, by the way, will exceed half a million rubles. Everything will depend on your needs and desires. I wish you success!
