MARKET AS A WHOLE

At the moment in Russia and the CIS countries, at least 5,009 studios are specializing in web development. They launch about 21,666 sites per year. The portfolio of an average studio (age 7 years old, 4-7 employees) is annually replenished with 9 sites.

The most popular site management system among the boxed ones: 1C-Bitrix, among the free ones - WordPress.

SERVICE COST

The cost of developing a corporate website is on average 225 633 rubles (services for the creation of this type of site are provided by 78% of web studios), a promo site - 154 613 rubles (46% of studios), an online store - 362 229 rubles (58% of studios), portal or service - 1 834 701 rubles (28% of studios).

In addition to the complexity of the project, the cost is highly dependent on the location of the developer. For example, the average cost of developing a corporate website in Moscow is 563,314 rubles, in Rostov-on-Don, it is 448,920 rubles, in St. Petersburg, it is 299,468 rubles, in Samara it is 250,905 rubles, in Novosibirsk, it is 231,796 rubles. That is, turning to regional studios can significantly reduce the financial costs of launching a website.

If you have a small project and a limited budget, it is better to immediately contact the studios of the lower or middle price segment. If the task is large-scale and there is a budget for its implementation, pay attention to the studios of the upper and premium segments.

UNDERWATER ROCKS

When looking for a contractor, you need to keep in mind that many of them (17% of the total), especially very small web studios, work without a contract. Why is that bad?

In 42.8% of cases, the client spends more money on development than he expected. 39.7% of projects are delivered later than the originally agreed deadline. When ordering an online store, this figure is even higher - 56%. In a word, an agreement is not a pro forma, but a necessity.

HOW TO MITIGATE RISKS?

As a rule, there are objective reasons for the second and third phenomena, and in many respects, they are connected with the customer himself. Thus, 38.2% of clients in one of our polls agreed that such troubles were the result of long-term decision-making on their part, 34.4% self-critically admitted that they regularly made changes to the agreed project. In a word, a contract is a contract, but before ordering the site, it is better to weigh everything again, draw up the most detailed technical task, and, just in case, have a certain amount in stock in case something changes in the process of working with the web studio.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO BUILD A WEBSITE?

The duration of website development depends on two factors:

site type,

the complexity of the functional.

This determines the number of tasks that must be performed by the contractor, their sequence, and labor costs to complete, that is, it forms a plan for the production of work on the project.

The spread is large enough. You can focus on approximately the following terms, depending on the type of site:

1-4 weeks - creating a landing page on the constructor.
1-4 months - development of an online store, a service site, or a corporate site using the constructor.
1-3 months - individual development of a one-page or simple site from scratch.
3-12 months - individual website development on a suitable CMS or framework.

The functionality is important, since, for example, the connection of acquiring can take one working week, and the development of a complex personal account can take several months.

It is difficult to standardize development timelines since each project is individual. To correctly form expectations, it is worth consulting with the web studio, having previously described the task and wishes by the type of site and functionality.
