how to get into web design and development
thank you watching website hosting video tipsfrom ourchurch.com. in this video we'll tell you how to get help building a website. hi, i'm mark steinbrueck with ourchurch.com.and on this video, i want to talk about what determines the build time of my website. orthe most popular questions that i'm asked is, "how long does web design and developmenttake?" so we're going to talk about what goes intodetermining the length of time that it takes to build a website for a client.is it a custom or pre-existing design? when we're talking about the design, we'retalking about the look, the layout of the website. and the type of design will greatlyaffect the time that it takes to build a website.
using a pre-existing design, often calleda template or theme if you're working with wordpress, will speed up the process. pre-existingdesigns, however, don't offer the distinctiveness or the flexibility that custom designs offer.choosing a custom design will increase the amount of development time. however, it givesyou much more control as far as the options, the look, and the layout of the website.the number of revisions provided in the design process.this is especially important when you're doing something that has a custom design. so ifyou only have one revision, then, obviously, that will take the developer less time. there'sgoing to be less communication with the developer and so that will be a quicker process.whereas, if you have two or three revisions,
then that will take a little bit longer becausethe developer is going through the process of making changes. and you're going to gothrough the process of reviewing the design and having the developer make those changes.so, usually two to three revisions is enough to get the design to the way that the customerwants. but each revision typically does add about a week of time to the design process.amount of content that is being entered. how much is being entered by the developerversus how much will be entered by you later on. and, the amount of content that the developerenters, it's not going to affect the design time as much as a custom design versus a pre-designedtemplate. however, if they're only creating two or threepages versus, you know, creating 40 or 50
pages, that will significantly impact theamount of time that it takes to build a website. the developer and client response times.so does the developer have some kind of a goal or a required turn-around time when itcomes to responding to your e-mails or your phone calls?we here at ourchurch.com, we strive for a maximum of one business day turn-around time.oftentimes, it's much less than that. it's within a few hours.but it's good to know and it's good to find out if the developer has a certain goal timethat they have to respond back. but something else that is going to greatly affect the launchdate or the overall time in the project is how quickly you, the customer, are in respondingback to the developer.
one of the biggest things that we find slowsdown the project and we're not complaining about it, but it is simply the fact of lifeis that, oftentimes, the website is not the number one priority of the point-of-contact.and so it usually will take a few days to get a response back to an e-mail. or whenit comes to putting in content, it usually, you know, sometimes it might take weeks tobe able to get that content in. so, to improve or to speed things up, it'softentimes very helpful to get to responses within a day from the client or to get thecontent in within just a few days of when we're asking for it.so, in summary, here are the things you need to know on how long does web design and developmenttake?
it's a custom design versus a pre-existingdesign. the number of revisions that's provided inthe design process. the amount of content that the developer isgoing to be entering. and then, lastly, the developer and clientresponse times. so i hope that this has been an informativevideo and helps you understand what goes into determining the length of time that a websiteproject will take. if there's anything that we can do for youhere at ourchurch.com to help you achieve your mission or your goals on-line, pleasecomplete the consultation request form below. thank you very much.
