How much time to build a website?
Building a website takes time! A simple, responsive (i.e that fits to the screen it’s displayd on) website, secured and optimized for referencing takes around twenty hours, if it has to be fully custom-made. Ths time includes tasks that "you don’t see" but which are absolutely necessary (and included in the service).
Here is a list of the different steps to build a website from scratch to online operation:
- Define your needs and expectations precisely.
- Install WordPress along with the various additional elements (theme, plugins…), tune them for their use on your website.
- Create the content and the design as well as the specific modules (the more complex they are, the more time consuming it is).
- Connect the website to the Google services allowing traffic monitoring.
- Set the web hosting parameters and set the website online
