There are roughly two things that are necessary to launch a new website. One is design of the site and the other is content.
Generally it takes about 1 to 3 months to design a site. Even web production companies take about a month from meeting with customers, designing, coding and delivery as quickly as possible. Including the planning stage, it would be better to consider the production period of about two months. The other content is articles and photos. This will be prepared by the site owner, not a web production company. As early as a few days, on average it will take about a week or two.
So it takes about two to three months to open a website. In addition to the time it will cost the production as well. The cost of paying to the production company is about 5,000 dollars, and the personnel cost of producing the content changes greatly depending on the site, but is it about 1,000 to 5,000 dollars at the usual corporate site? Together, they cost $100,000.(References:In Japan Market) However, this is a minimal scale site, and it is more costly to implement sophisticated features or to build a larger site.
The time required to open this site is about one week. It is the total period from planning to design and content production.
Explaining the specific process, it took about 3 days (3 people) to write sentences, and it took about one day to prepare some pictures. In other words, it took about 4 days to prepare all the contents.
Next, the design part did not take much time because we used our own developed WordPress theme “STYLY“.(It took about 1 or 2 hours for initial setting etc.)
While we were preparing for opening this site, we had worked on other projects as well, so it would not take three days if we could do that mainly.
When opening a new site in our company it is mostly done by choosing a template from the TCD theme. The reason is that the site can be launched easily. Originally site production is a terribly tedious task, but with the TCD theme you can quickly launch a new web site like an instant noodle. “It’s an instant, but we can create a high-quality site”, we study such a theme every day.
If you use templates, you can save a lot of time because only that you need to do is just inserting the contents such as text and images then creation is completely done! It sounds strange because it was developed by our company, but WordPress theme is really useful.
