"Management was probably the most difficult task among all the difficulties that NASA faced when sending a man to the moon"
- Roger Launis, NASA historian
If you faced a problem of choosing a web studio for the website development and promotion, we advise you to pay attention to the following parameters of the development technology, which directly affect both the quality of work on website creation and its cost:
Reputation of web studio team

The number of orders for large companies in the portfolio of the web studio inspires confidence among customers and guarantees that you will obtain the expected result.

Experience of web studio team

The more experience a specialist has, the better the result and the higher the cost of the project will be.

Number of persons in the project group

How many people will be allocated to implement your website? Quality, time, and cost may depend on this. And also the following item...

Terms of development

If you have tight timeline, it is necessary to increase the number of specialists in the project team.

Scale of a project and work stages

n some web studios you can order only design and programming, in some – analytics, design, project development, programming, content. And this is not the whole list of services provided by the web studio.

The number of stages, and therefore the number of persons in the project team directly affects project cost for the customer.

Team location

The specifics of web studio market is that very often developers and customers may not be located geographically in the city where the web studio itself is located, but thousands of kilometers away from each other.
For example, we are a web studio from St. Petersburg, but we work under a subcontract with big Lebanese, American and UAE companies.

Availability and terms of the Contract

Freelancers have lower prices, but they work without a Contract, which increases the risks. In this regard, a number of questions may arise. For example, does the intellectual property pass to you, as a customer, after the creation of the website?

Office availability

The specifics of website development is that the team can be distributed and is not always located in the same office. This format is not always suitable for the development of very large projects.

Development engine (CMS, Framework)

Websites can be programmed in different ways: either on CMS (a partially ready-made solution), or on Framework (a self-written website). The features consist in the creation of a Technical Task and further management of the administration system: the more individual the development is, the more expensive and longer the Technical Task will be for it. Also, the cost of programming specialist’s work per hour on Framework will be higher.

We identify the following 10 criteria of website quality:

01 /

A full-fledged project team is involved in the development. More than one specialist should create a website.

02 /

The layout should be implemented by Pixel perfect technique.

03 /

The technology of website development should be suitable for the project. For example, you are not collecting a small landing page with the development technology that was used to write Aviasales portal.

04 /

The website has a mobile version.

05 /

The website has been optimized for search engines.

06 /

The website is assigned tasks that it should solve.

07 /

08 /

Effective communication and relationship between the contractor and the customer.
