Seeking Website Development Advice
Posted on 7/24/18 at 12:28 pm

Needing some informed opinions on how best to approach a ground up site build.
Site will need:
Landing page
About
Services
Enrollment page with pay options and checkout
Enrollment page offering questions which imports results to a template
Contact
Varied other unique dev needs to ensure all templates can be printed, stored and revisited using userid/pw
Whatever else is unforseen.
Question is, when looking for a developer, what is the usual method of compensation? Flat fee based upon estimated hours? Hourly rate? Is maintenance or add-ons usually available?
Thanks in advance, a ton.

This sounds pretty simple. I'd say your best bet is something online that's kind of out of the box DIY. Hiring a company will make you likely the lowest priority on their list based on the requirements you just outlined.

Look at Wix. Super cheap and you can build out as you want. Very user friendly. You could easily have this done for a couple of hundred bucks if you want to spend the weekend working on it.

We used Wix for our business. No complaints.

You basically hire 3 back-office techies and no front sales. You will have a beautiful eCommerce but with no sales ;)
You should have a team of 4: 1 tech/dev (offshoring when it’s needed), 1 merchandiser (the ones who will make sure your Product Pages have the right content for SEO), 1 Ads/Search manager who will go after affiliates and manage keywords, and 1 Conversion/UX manager who will run A/B testing up to the point you’ll reach at least 5% of eCommerce conversion rate.
For the day-2-day, go for Trello or any kanban tasks tool. GitHub is cool if you plan to code a lot of custom exotic services. It should’nt happen, focus first on configuration and content.
And dont forget about a reliable webhosting. I think it's good to start from the decent and low cost hosting service like https://zomro.net/.
Their plans have many useful resources which are necessary for running a website successfully.
Prices are affordable and uptime is high. Cheers
