Real Estate SEO Experts

The costs involved in website development and design can vary significantly depending on your needs. Factors such as website type, the skill of your developers and designers, search engine optimisation, and content quality, will all influence the price. The domain name and web hosting (server) are additional costs that can vary also – your chosen team can walk you through the details of this.

The more involved and complex your site, the longer the planning and building will take and therefore the higher the costs. E-commerce platforms, for example, are significantly more involved than websites advertising essential services such as those used by tradespeople.

At EFOUR our goal is to work with clients within their budget, to create a website that is functional, user friendly, and hard working. We tailor our design, development, and marketing services to match your needs, vision, and budget.

There is no rule that says your website must be designed and developed by professionals. You may like to try a user-friendly web application such as WordPress or Wix that gives individuals the tools to create basic websites without the need for skills, such as writing code.

However, while designing and building your own website may save you money in the short term, it’s going to cost you time and money in the long term. You will miss opportunities to optimise your site for the user and SEO digital marketing metrics, while also dealing with the complications of the build itself.

The design and development of your website is an investment in the ongoing success of your business. It is highly recommended to leave it to the experts and use your time to focus on other important aspects of running your business. This helps you reach your goals sooner and ensures your website is contributing to the growth of your business and wowing the user from the outset.

The time and length of a build depends on the complexity and size of the website development. Basic Sites can be produced from between 4-6 weeks. While complex sites including custom coding and SAAS developments can be much longer.

Building websites is a little bit like the old saying “measure twice, cut once”, we take the planning component very serious, and deviations or changes to the plan during the build we avoid as “scope creep” is a sure-fire way to destroy the program and our reputation, neither of which is good for the client our for EFOUR. At the time of the initial scoping, you should be given a timeline.

The design and layout of your site are, in lots of ways, more important than the back-end development handled by the developers. Absolutely, the user experience is important but the design is what captures visitors’ attention in those first few milliseconds, and makes a lasting impression.

The internet has millions of websites, many of them truly outstanding. Web design is one of the best tools you have towards competing with these sites. Leveraging the skills of a web designer and collaborating to bring your vision to life helps make a name for your business. It also helps provide a clear plan for the developers and can expedite the creation of your website.

Ultimately, web designers and web developers work best together. At EFOUR, our team utilises all their expertise in visual appeal, functionality, usability, and coding (including custom coding) to create a winning interface, no matter the client.

While they are categorised as being visual designers, there are some web designers who also possess skills in using complex code to build websites. Many designers however work mostly through graphic design software such as Adobe XD, WordPress, Weebly and others, where an understanding of programming code is less necessary.

An understanding of basic HTML and CSS programming code is very beneficial for designers as this provides insights for them into how a design may or may not work in practice. More and more designers are learning code for this reason, though this does not negate the need for a properly qualified developer.

The ability for a web designer to understand basic code can also expedite the development stage. This is due to them being able to organise design files in a cohesive way and work within ‘best practices’. This makes it easier for a designer and developer to work alongside one another and can lead to even better results for the client.

Unfortunately, we do not allow people to view the work unless it is at agreed milestones. We prefer to have our clients see the finished product and the systems we have put in place.

This is better for you and much better for us.
