But website development is not a child’s play and nor it is a work of genie that the master commands and the next moment it is ready it takes time there is a thorough process behind every activity therefore for website development there are no quick fixes but as they say necessity is the mother of invention; so for such people who need quick outcomes provided that their requirements are only to publish their company profile and not too interactive; then an off the shelf solution is the best, as it saves time and money both, as for custom development even if the requirements lists is not too long but the expenses are more than a off the shelf solution but it does comes with a price that is incase of any changes then in the website they would’ve to contact the vendors. A custom development is only recommended under certain circumstances if their requirement of the website is very interactive and they are asking for a very dynamic solution and the website is going to be their one of the prime sources of brand promotion and company profile exhibition; then custom development is the only option as off the shelf solutions doesn’t comes with that much features either and in custom development incorporating changes is not big issue and it is made robust enough to incorporate any changes in the architecture or the basic design either.

Posted by admin in Website Development on September 12, 2009
It may seem to be a very small thing and a very easy decision to make but that is not the reality because no matter how
well your website is built but if it is not available for the world to see or either the response time from the server you’ve choose your work to upload to is very slow then you’ve had it because not all your money and time has been wasted but the efforts you’ve put into but this can be more dangerous if the website is for business purpose and with such situation you are likely to loose the customer and the trust on your brand therefore this decision like all other decision should be taken very carefully. The first thing to see is that what facilities they are providing and at what price then should do a market survey because there is a lot of competition and that means that after tiring yourself a bit you can get good and refined results. If you are just testing your skill and have created something for fun then it is recommended that just don’t waste your money for paying for hosting rather there are numerous free web hosting providers available but they are going to put certain advertisements on your webpage; as they say there is no free lunch. But if you are working on something very serious then definitely free hosting is not for you; spending some more dollars on buying some space for your website shouldn’t be that hard and here you should be careful about certain thing; that includes making sure that do they have certain file size or type limitations; bandwidth, space, technical support and managing your web pages by allowing FTP access. They are indeed very technical things and if you don’t have any idea which way to go and what to do then definitely seek some professional help there are consultancies such as Website Design Edinburgh who provide services in this regard.
