Every time customers consult us, they will ask a lot of questions: "how much does the website construction cost?" And "how long does it take to develop a website?".
In fact, how long does it take to build a website? This is related to the type of website project, language version, terminal version, website column function, website design requirements, the ability of website construction company, the complexity of website production, project operation process and modification feedback time, etc.
First, let's talk about the types of website construction projects
- Generally, it takes about 1-2 months to build a company website with a single language version and a single user terminal, about 1-3 months for the mall system, and about 2-5 months for portal websites (as the case may be) and other customized websites.
Language version
- Many customers not only need to make simplified Chinese version, but also need to make English, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, traditional Chinese, etc. It is conceivable that making multiple versions takes more time than one version, and it will increase under normal circumstances. The working time of one version increases by about 20%.
User terminal version
- User terminals are divided into computer PC terminals, mobile phone mobile terminals, responsive websites, tablet websites, etc. If you need to make a PC mobile website, the time should be increased by about 50% compared with the basic time due to the need to redesign the mobile terminal, front-end production, program docking, etc. Therefore, if the response based website construction method is used at one time, the time is roughly the same as that of the PC phone.
Website column function
- Usually, the columns of the company's website construction include home, company introduction, product display, news center, Contact us, etc. However, if you add Download Center, project case, member center, solution, talent recruitment, employee circle, product purchase, etc., the workload will be different. Usually, when there are more columns, there will be more time.
Website design requirements
- Website design requirements are related to industry and customers. Some have higher design requirements. The designer will take longer to draft the first draft, and the modification time will be longer. Since there is no website design standard, you can use 1-2 drafts to determine some website design projects, However, some require 3-5 drafts to be finalized, and the time required must be different.
Ability level of website construction company
- Some companies have high design and technical level and high proficiency. Of Doc, they can do this faster. Some companies hire fresh graduates, so they must be slow.
Complexity of website construction
- A website involves many details, and each detail is completed in situ. According to my ten years of website development experience, the workload can be doubled. For example, for maintenance reasons, add ALT to each picture and then add a title. Definition, text overflow protection, browser compatibility, machine message protection, page loading speed, etc
Project operation process
- This is actually related to the operation mode of the website construction company. Some companies will gradually provide confirmation for customers. For example, the home is designed to confirm customers, and the inner page is designed to confirm customers. Some companies publish the first draft at a time. The latter is faster if there are few changes, but may need to be redone if there are many changes. In addition, some companies connect customer service or business with customers instead of directly connecting designers and technology, but errors occur in the middle, and the information transmission time is very slow, resulting in a longer website construction cycle.
Modify feedback time
- Sometimes, although the website construction company passes the internal inspection, the final reviewer is still the customer. Each customer has different preferences and aesthetic standards. There will be more or fewer revisions. If the revision feedback time is too long, it will affect the project cycle.
