Identify business needs

Before researching a website development partner, take some time to identify your business needs. How a website can satisfy that desires? The answer will be the basis to define which is the most suitable website outsourcing company in the list of up to hundreds.

1.1 What kind of website does your business need?

Do you think you already have an obvious answer? Are you sure that a corporate website is what your business needs?

In case of your business is retail, your website is your store, an e-commerce website is exactly what you need. 

What kind of website do you need?

In case of your company provides professional services, your website should express your company's reputation, knowledge, experience. Most importantly, the website's content and features must help you convert visitors into customers.

With these requirements above, there are many things to consider such as CMS (content management system), and website hosting service. These factors directly affect the daily management of the website.

1.2 Clearly define the requirements

Many customers contacted Rabiloo when they did not understand what they want and need. They gave our development team some website templates to make a copy.

However, that copy version is not suitable for your company field, business model, customer, and brand. We can not start the project without being sure our product is the best solution for you.

To start the website development project, let’s take time to define who is your target audience. What will your visitors do on your website? These questions are not hard to answer so try to prepare them before.

1.3 Decide the main features and categories of your website.

When you have the basic requirements about your website, your next step is creating a sitemap, wireframe, and essential features. If better, you can prepare the content of each page on the website.

The sitemap is a file in which you provide information about the pages, videos, images, and other files on your website and their relationships between them. Sitemap helps your development team have a complete view of your website.

A wireframe is a layout of a web page that demonstrates what interface elements will exist on key pages. You do not need to wait for a design to know how your website looks.

1.4 Calculate your budget and completion time

Defining budget and completion time helps you not waste time on a service provider with too high prices or too low speeds.

Timing and pricing always affect each other. The shorter the time is, the higher the cost will be. The website development company consults or suggests your website requirements based on that basis.

However, being low cost does not mean low speed or low quality. Therefore, to make the right decision, let's carefully check the website development company’s portfolio. The details are in the next part.
