What is the difference between a basic business website and an e-commerce website?
A basic business website showcases what your business is about. It is an informational website that lists all your products and services and gives details about each one of them. An e-commerce website will enable the customers to purchase the goods and services that the business provides. The e-commerce website will function as an online market whereas the basic business website is more like a catalogue of the business.
How is template format different from custom format?
A lot of pre-designed templates are available online and the customer can choose any one of them to develop their website. As a template is developed by a different coder, it cannot be tampered with much, and thus, a web developer will have to stick to the basic template design. When a website is built in a customised way, it is developed from scratch. The hired web developer will have to write the codes and thus, various additions and subtractions are possible in the website. The customised website will be developed keeping in mind the budget and needs, along with the likes and dislikes of the customer.
What do the web designer and developer expect from me?
The customers who are willing to hire a web designer should know that they are not content creators or content developers. Whatever content that needs to be put on the site should be handed over to them well in advance, to avoid delay in project completion. Also, they should keep in mind that with every addition in merchant service, the price increases too. Thus, they should be very clear about what they want their website to showcase and should convey their needs to the developer well in advance.
What are agile practices?
Agile is an iterative approach to web/software development wherein the software is built from scratch but is delivered in phases rather than all at once. It works by breaking projects down into parts, prioritising them and then delivering them in cycles. High budget websites are developed in this way.
