Questions to Ask Before Getting a Website Built
Before starting a website project, there are a few core questions to clarify: What's the site's purpose (brand awareness, sales, booking appointments)? Who's your target audience? What's your budget and timeline? The answers determine whether a ready-made template or a custom build is the right choice.
Ready-Made Template vs. Custom Build
Ready-made websites are ideal if you have a limited budget and want fast delivery — they can typically be adapted to your brand and launched within days. A custom build is the better path if your business needs very specific functionality, integrations, or design.
How Does the Process Work?
- Request & discovery: you share your needs and goals via a form or a call.
- Quote: once scope is clear, you get a quote with price and delivery time.
- Design & development: a design matching your brand identity is prepared and content is added.
- Launch & support: the site goes live, SEO and maintenance support continue.
What Should You Watch Out For?
- Ask clearly what the price covers (how many pages, how many revisions, is hosting/domain included).
- Check whether SEO groundwork is included in delivery — adding it later can be costlier.
- Find out whether you can update content yourself after delivery (is there an admin panel).

The right website decision depends on your budget, timeline and your business's specific needs. At Kodyva we offer both ready-made packages and fully custom builds — we can figure out the best path for you together.
