Web Dev Process

Our Development Process

Give your brand the boost it needs with a quality designed website by Grapevine Media.

First, we take the time to get to know you, your business and your website goals. Next, we want to further develop creative direction by discovering design inspirations, desired features and even competitor’s websites.

Next, we begin developing the backend of your website, including your hosting, domain, CMS, plugins, extensions and a whole lot more. Getting the proper platform developed the way you want it is critical to the long-term success of any website.

Now comes the visible aspect of your web design project. We begin to lay out all of the pages with sample content, including copy, images, video and icons. Then we work to optimize and improvise until each page has a smooth user experience.

Finally, we audit the website with a variety of tests. We optimize the page load speed, test traffic and finally deliver the website and “Go Live.” From here we shift our focus to managing and maintaining the website with our clients for as long as they need our support.

Key Terms Glossary

Look up our definitions of key terminology used in the world of Website Development.

How much does a website cost?

There are many different website packages that include a large variety of options. Lower cost websites can be developed for under $800, such as one-pager websites, page builder websites (Wix, GoDaddy, etc). Most websites cost between $800 to $2000 such as small business websites, or professional websites. There are also many website development projects that can run $20,000 or more for large enterprises, multi-site networks or other large digital entities.

How long does it take to build a website?

Most website development projects will take 1 to 2 months. Some project types can be completed within a week or less, while others are ongoing projects without an end. This will depend entirely on the nature of your website, but a good rule of thumb is 1 to 3 days per page of development.

How do I create a website strategy?

Your website development strategy will depend on your goals, industry, and budget. A great strategy is to start with a simple yet modern one-page website and expand over time to spread the cost out over time. Schedule a call with a Grapevine Media web consultant to learn more about developing your website.

What does a website development service include?

Website development typically includes the initial design, creation and launch of a website, but does not include the ongoing hosting, security and maintenance of the site.

Do I need website hosting, security and maintenance?

A website that is fully designed and developed will require a hosting account in order for it to be published to the internet. On top of that, you will likely need security to prevent your website from being attacked and maintenance to keep your website files updated. Because the web is evolving quickly, most websites will become outdated within the first three months of being published. We highly recommend you purchase a hosting, security & maintenance plan for your website.
