FAQs
Common questions answered
Having worked in the web development industry for over 20 years now we have had experience in a vast array of industries and sectors so the simple answer is probably yes!
We’ve worked with clients of all sizes from sole traders and small businesses through to global organisations. We’ve built sites for local trades, charities, schools, university groups, fintechs, dentists, law firms, architects – you name it, we’ve probably worked on a similar site!
This broad experience allows us to understand the needs of each individual sector – so feel free to bring your project to us and it’ll be in good hands.
With modern systems like WordPress it’s very easy to throw a site which looks reasonably decent quickly and easily but in our experience many developers and agencies go no further than that.
A professional developer considers far more than that, taking into account everything from what the site goals are, the messaging and content, the construction of the site both visually and structurally, optmised and semantically-accurate code, accessibility, search engine appeal and so much more.
Your friend’s mate (who does a bit of web design on the side) can build you a site – but only an experienced, professional agency like Arcas can craft a site which looks good, works well and is perfectly positioned to achieve your goals.
It will depend upon the complexity of the project but normally 3-4 weeks is the starting point, with larger or more complex projects ranging from 4-12 weeks.
This is our most commonly asked question and the answer is … it depends.
It all comes down to the amount of work involved but as a general guide, for a professional development including design and build, we’d suggest about £2000-£3500+VAT as the lower end of the range, around £5000+VAT for mid-tier projects and £10k+VAT and up for larger projects.
