website builds.

Getting a website built well is mostly about the decisions made before anyone designs anything: how many pages, what each one is for, who writes the words, and what gets handed over at the end.

These articles go through a build from the brief to the handover, in the order the questions tend to come up. Some are for a small business having its first proper site made, and some are for agencies shipping one for a client. Both end up asking most of the same things.

If you are planning a site, website design shows what a build costs on each platform, at fixed prices, and web app development is scoped for what a platform cannot do. A site that exists but has stopped earning is a website redesign, and if the name and the look need settling first, that is brand identity. For agencies there is website delivery, from a blank page or a signed-off design.
