HTML and HTML5 are the core of any website design and website development project. Like any other website design company we employ these markup languages to design or customize our websites.

Because of technical and technological limitations and concerns, HTML and HTML5 are not enough to finalize any Website or CMS design project. We also employ programming languages same as JAVA, React, JQuery and other server and client side programming languages.

SQL Server and MY SQL database management systems are also part of our development kit.

While it may looks easy to design a website and release it to production, the real world facts show that it’s not as easy as it looks.  At Zarban, as a website design contractor company we follow a professionally designed procedure to design, test and release a custom website to production, or in other word “Making a website live”

Required design time varies from few hours to couple of weeks. Single page websites or landing pages may need few hours to be designed. Online stores or business websites may need couple of weeks or months to be designed and get ready for testing or client review.

Client requirements and expectations same as Content writing, Graphic design, Coding, Data entry and Website integration with third party service providers are well-known factors that affect the required Website design time.

The testing procedure is also be a time consuming and sensitive phase as we must make sure that not only the designed website has a good quality of design, but also has an acceptable loading speed, performance and also all installed modules work as expected. Based on requirements and the complexity of the project, the testing phase may also take few hours or days to be done and confirmed.

To release a website to production or “making a website live”, we have to consider couple of parameters and factors including but not limited to:

• Customer satisfaction of website design
• Content review and confirmation by customer
• General SEO satisfaction
• Website load speed and performance
• Webdesign QA & testing satisfaction
• Completion or satisfaction of data entry phase
• General UI & UX testing satisfaction
• Modular testing
• Functional testing
• Third Party service testing
• Device compatibility testing

And finally when it comes to release the website to the hosting, we must check every aspect of the website and make sure that the released website works as expected and it’s 100% safe to be visited and browsed by Internet users.

The best way to have an idea about the duration of your project is scheduling a meeting with our team. After discussion and clarification of your requests, we can provide an accurate time and cost estimation for you.

This guideline helps you to understand occasions you should NOT use online page builders to design your business website.

What are disadvantages of online website builder applications?

(1)  They are NOT mobile friendly. Online tools follow a drag and drop mechanism which means that the end result is acceptable when displayed on desktops or laptops, but NOT attractive on tablets or mobile devices. Only professional Web Developers can recognize and know how to fix compatibility issues.

(2) You cannot go much far by design. Online website builders provide a collection of pre-defined or pre-designed graphics or effects. While they are widely customizable, but still very much far from what a website developer company can design.

(3) You are limited to their limitation. An actual business website design project contains considerable design requirements which must be provided by programming, design or purchase of new module and plugins. This is not what an online page builder is designed for and therefore you will be limited to the limitations of a tool designed for basic use only.

(4) Search engine optimization facilities available on online page builders are normally very basic and not suitable for professional projects. This is mainly due to security matters, as the service provider cannot provide full user access to their server resources.

Conclusion: Online website builders are not the right choice to design business or professional websites. Platform limitations, Limited design templates and limited search engine optimization facilities are some of many weaknesses which mark these applications inappropriate for big and professional website design projects.

Online Website builders are around for many years and they try to improve their facilities and performance on a daily basis. This guideline helps you understand when would be the right time to use an online website builder tool to design your business website.

What are advantages of online website builder applications?

(1) Online website builder applications are available on almost every website hosting service. In some cases an online website builder website provides domain registration and hosting service as well.

(2) Online website builder applications are easy to use and almost everyone with basic computer and internet knowledge can use them to design a business website. Their content modifications or formatting are easy and there are lots of pre-defined formats, images and graphic designs which a user can apply to a design.

(3) They have built-in web form templates for standard or advanced users to configure them easily and place them on the pages they have already designed. This can make the lead generation or client communication easier.

(4) Most of these tools are able to apply basic or advanced search engine optimization settings to the design. This can be used by an advanced user to improve the ranking of a website designed by online tools.

(5) They are free or their price included in the hosting service package. Some other service providers may charge based on monthly or annual plans.

(6) They can publish the website immediately. In emergency cases or when you do not have enough time to look for a website designer company, they can be employed to design and publish a website.

Conclusion:
Online website builders are easy to use, fast to employ and contain pre-defined or pre-designed graphical and data entry materials which can be modified by many internet users.

They normally provide all required services in a single package (domain registration, website hosting and website publishing tools).

You can employ such tools to create simple websites when you do not have access to a website designer or when you just need to make a website online in a short period of time or for a special occasions.
