Web Programming FAQs

• Why would I need to use web development services?

  There are a lot of potential tasks and projects for which you might need to enlist web development services. For example, you might use web development services to develop an online tool, to create a unique widget with a specific functionality for your website, to fix a bug, or to automate a task that you spend a lot of time doing manually.

• Aren’t there plugins or templates I can use instead of a web developer?

  Certainly there are cases where a template or plugin provides a quick and easy way to achieve your goal. However, if you’re looking to create something unique, personalized, or very specific, you’ll usually need to use web development services. Doing so lets you build a customized solution that meets all your needs and gets your desired result.

• Do I need to prepare anything before I start using web development services?

  Depending on your goal, you’ll need to prepare different things. If you’re planning a new feature, widget, or web application, you’ll need the full design of all screens and a list of the functionalities of your application. If you’re fixing a bug, you’ll need to specify the specific cases in which the bug occurs (ie, on what pages? Mobile or desktop? etc).

• How is web development related to user experience?

  If the web developers are creating something that will be used by your customers, you must take user experience into account. Before the developers start, you’ll need a UX designer to perform some usability tests (usually with a live demo that tests your application on real users) and perform additional analysis to make sure the feature is easy to understand and use.

• How long does web development take?

  It really varies depending on the type and scope of work you need. For instance, building a web application from scratch takes a lot longer than customizing an existing one. How long it takes to fix a bug depends entirely on the complexity of the bug. After you’ve outlined your project, you can ask the developers for an estimate of the timeline.

• How much do web development services cost?

  Again, it depends on the scope and complexity of the work you need done. To allow developers to give you an accurate quote, you should send them a document that includes your full requirements (even the smallest details!). By getting quotes from a few developers, you can see the price range and determine if it fits your budget.
