Estimation of Cost to build a Website via a Remote Company


Cost to build a website via Remote Company

Whether you are an entrepreneur, SME, big business, or anyone else, budget is the critical concern. The cost to build a website can vary widely. To get an accurate guess, you need to answer this:

  • Do you want to use a template, or is it a custom design?
  • On what technology you want to build it?
  • What backend functionality does the site offer?
  • Any 3rd party integration like payment gateways?
  • Do you have any reference sites?
  • Do you also want to do SEO and content?

These factors are important to affect your cost. By deciding all the variables, the websites can cost anywhere between $0 for a personal website to $100,000+ for a custom enterprise site like Walmart. But by offshoring it to a country like India can easily cut-down your cost to build a website from 30-60% of the total with the same quality of work.

Why it is so much difficult to estimate the exact cost to build a website?

This a very obvious question that how much it will cost to build a website. The simple answer is uncertain “Scope of Work”. This is the most prerequisite thing before jumping on to any idea. It gives a clear and uncut projection of any plan. Scope of Work is a document on which both parties client (aka you) and an agency, vendor, or contractor (aka the outside team you’re working with) mutually agreed upon.

Why Hiring Software Developers from a Remote Company is Budget-friendly?

Hiring a software development team has too many cost factors like skills, experience, technology, and location. Likewise, if you have a small project, then you can simply hire part-time software developers with relevant experience in different fields and build your own small team. However, it will require some significant amount of time and energy, along with technical knowledge of the domain.

If you really have a high technical background, then hiring part-time software developers and quality assurance testers can reduce the cost to build a website to a large extent.

But if your software development project is big with lots of complexities, and then taking this move would prove costly, even if you have strong technical knowledge. A cost-effective way is to outsource your project to a remote software development company or else you can hire a fully dedicated team. It will eventually cut down the cost to build a website.
