TL;DR — 5 Ways to Get a Website

1. Custom Code: The most flexible, most expensive.

2. CMS (usually WordPress): The "golden mean" for price and features.

3. Builder + Specialist: Fast and moderately priced.

4. DIY Builder: Build a site yourself for almost free.

5. Social Page / Marketplace: A no-website start for when you need to be online "here and now."

A website is more than a business card: it brings in clients and makes sales. The path you choose depends on your ambitions, budget, and timeline.

1. Ordering Custom Development "From Scratch"

A team of programmers writes all the site's code specifically for your unique business processes.

• Who it's for: Large projects, startups with complex functionality, and services where speed and security are critical.

• Pros: Complete control over features and design, top-tier performance.

• Cons: The largest budget, longest development and launch time.

2. Order a CMS-based site

Most common choice is WordPress. Pros set up the “engine” and design it for your brand.

• Best for: small/medium businesses that need a blog, corporate portal, or online store.

• Pros: solid balance of cost and flexibility; easy content edits.

• Cons: requires ongoing updates and technical care.

3. Hire a pro to build on a website builder

An agency or freelancer assembles the site on a cloud SaaS platform (Wix, Webflow, Svit.One).

• Best for: businesses that need a good-looking site “yesterday” without a big budget.

• Pros: very fast go-live, cheaper than custom code or a CMS build.

• Cons: features and design limited by the chosen platform.

4. Build it yourself on a builder

Use the same platforms as above, but do all the work yourself.

• Best for: micro-businesses, freelancers, idea testing / MVPs.

• Pros: ultra-low cost, can launch in one evening, no coding required.

• Cons: limited design and advanced features, takes your personal time.

5. Use social media or a marketplace

Think Instagram/Facebook page, Google Business Profile, or a storefront on Amazon or Etsy.

• Best for: product businesses at day one, demand testing, local services.

• Pros: almost free, instant launch, access to built-in traffic.

• Cons: you play by someone else’s rules; for trust and scaling, a standalone site is needed 99 % of the time.

Start with a simple option that meets your current needs and grow gradually: from DIY → a builder with a specialist → CMS or custom code. The main thing is that your digital tool should work for your business, not the other way around.

Making websites involves several steps. Here's a general overview of the process:

1. Plan: Start by defining the purpose of the website, the target audience, and the content and features you want to include.

2. Design: Sketch out the layout of the website, including the placement of content, images, and navigation.

3. Choose a platform: Decide on a website-building platform like Svit.One, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or Shopify.

4. Domain name and hosting: Choose a domain name (the website's address) and a hosting service (the server where your website's files will be stored).

5. Content creation: Write or gather the content for the website, such as text, images, and videos.

6. Website building: Use the chosen platform to build the website, including adding pages, customizing the design, and uploading content.

7. Testing: Check the website for errors, broken links, and other issues.

8. Launch: Publish the website and promote it to the target audience.

9. Maintenance: Regularly update and maintain the website, including adding new content, fixing errors, and ensuring security.
