Website development FAQs

Web development, put very simply, is the building and creation of a website.

Here at Pedalo, you don’t need to have any previous knowledge on how it works. You can come to us with an idea and we will help you to turn it into reality with expertise you can rely on.

In the digital age, having a strong online presence is almost mandatory for every type of business. A high quality website can streamline your services, ensure you are reaching your target audience and give you an edge over your competitors.

Most website development projects can take anywhere between 6 weeks and 6 months depending on the size and complexity of the website and project at hand. For example, an installation of a brand new CMS usually takes around 8 weeks.

Phases of website development can differ depending on the needs of the client. In general we follow these 10 steps:

  1. Initial call to discuss brief
  2. Personalised delivery plan
  3. Specification formalisation
  4. Design phase
  5. Technical build
  6. User testing
  7. Training and content staging
  8. Site launch
  9. Post-launch tests and project sign off
  10. Post project support
