Before asking what a website costs, ask what customers need to do on it. Presenting services is different from selling products or managing courses. The right technology supports that journey and remains manageable after launch.
Start with your workflow
List your services or products, who will update content and how you will receive enquiries. Identify payment, shipping, booking and integration requirements. This list matters more initially than choosing a homepage layout.
When should you consider WordPress?
WordPress is an option for business and content websites, and WooCommerce can provide ecommerce functionality. Choose suitable plugins rather than tools you do not need. Agree on responsibility for updates, backups and maintenance, not just design.
When should you consider Salla?
For an online store, Salla may be worth evaluating. Check availability for your business country, required payment and delivery options, and the customisation and integrations supported by the current plan and apps. Do not assume every feature is included in every plan.
When does custom development make sense?
Custom development may suit workflows, permissions or integrations that ready-made solutions cannot reasonably support. It requires a clear scope, testing and a maintenance plan. Being custom does not automatically make it the best choice.
Compare costs beyond launch
Include development, hosting, subscriptions, plugins, maintenance and training. Ask about content ownership, data exports and future changes. The cheapest starting price is not necessarily the lowest long-term cost.
