Developing a web portal is in most cases a challenging project requiring a lot of technical as well as programming experience. Before taking the decision, functionality and budget requirements should be thoroughly discussed. Besides software, the project requires a suitable hardware solution – server, dedicated server, cloud. You can find out more details on web portal development in the following sections.
The web portal development costs range from tens to hundreds of thousands of euros, depending on the scope and complexity of the solution.
Development process – frequently asked questions
The web portal development costs hinge on several factors. In order to provide a well-informed price estimate, we would therefore need more details from you. These include the purpose of the web portal, whether it is a smaller personal project or rather a news or business web portal. It is also important to share with us the required functionality and expected traffic, as well as a number of other factors. All these details are key to the right price estimate.
For larger and more sophisticated web portals, on top of the web graphics design, it is necessary to prepare documentation containing the complete functionality of the system and a detailed description of each part. The project documentation serves as a tool for avoidance of misunderstandings between the customer and the IT developer. Therefore, having as detailed documentation as possible is key to a smooth development process.
Based on your ideas of the web portal and specification of its functions, the most suitable option for its development would be selected. Minor projects can be developed on ready-made, albeit modified, platforms. This type of approach allows for a more favorable budget and a shorter development time – in range of only weeks.
On the other hand, major projects with expected high traffic need to be developed from scratch.
As opposed to the platform-based projects this type of approach allows for much better code-efficiency, speed and server load performance as only the essential parts of the system get incorporated.
The downside is the time needed for programming ranging from several months to even years with the corresponding costs. All this can be compensated by returns from high traffic and lower server operating costs.
If you opt for a tailor-made solution and once the programming phase is over, it is necessary to completely test the functionality and debug the code before getting your portal started.
Testing and debugging takes a third to a half of the portal development time of the in the case of an extensive project. For portals with expected high traffic (tens of thousands of users per day), it is advisable to perform stress tests before launching.
