Web design focuses on the user experience and user flow, as well as the aesthetic appearance of the site. Web development, on the other hand, involves the technical side that makes the website function, including coding and performance across devices. Both are essential for creating a successful, user-friendly website.

A great user experience is crucial across all devices — mobile, desktop, and tablets. Mobile devices, in particular, are highly popular, with research indicating that up to 80% of your website’s visitors may access it first on a phone. First impressions are key, so it’s vital that your site looks professional and is easy to navigate on mobile. Additionally, search engines prioritize mobile-friendly design and may lower your ranking if your site isn’t optimized for mobile access.

Designing a custom website involves several phases: strategy, planning, design, development, quality assurance, and launch. For an informational website, the process typically takes up to 3 months, allowing time for detailed design and client feedback. Larger, more complex sites with advanced features may require more than 3 months. This timeline includes thorough design of key pages and a user testing phase to ensure optimal performance.

The cost of a custom website depends on three main factors: the number of unique landing pages, backend features, and integrations. Informational websites with a few landing pages are less expensive and quicker to develop than complex sites with custom backend features, such as job portals or marketplaces.

Costs vary based on the hourly rate and the total hours required. For instance, an informational site may take between 200 and 400 hours. If an agency charges $150 per hour, the starting cost would be approximately $30,000.
