Why does it cost 300 euros for some people to develop a website and 1500 euros for others? Let's answer this question.

Let's imagine that you are a company that wants to order a website, but do not know where to do it. There are many offers on the market, the cost of services are all different. What is the difference?

Let's start with cheap website builder or WordPress websites

What do you get by ordering such a site? In the case of WordPress, you download a ready-made template with an implemented visual constructor in the form of a plugin. In the case of the constructors themselves choose a ready-made template from the ready-made library.

Then, where it is necessary "developers" substitute the names of services, their description, images with photo stock and contact information of the firm-customer. All, cheap site is ready.

That is why such sites are all so similar to each other. About other disadvantages of this approach, we have already written in the article "About Wordpress, Tilda, Wix and other website builders".

Websites that we make

It doesn't start with development. It starts with analyzing the market and competitors. We find out the main needs of potential clients, the strengths and weaknesses of competitors. And we plan the site in such a way that it is the best in its field.

Technical Specification

Writing a proper technical specification for a complex website is almost an art form. You need to clearly and logically describe how every element should work - step by step. This is one of the most important stages, and it’s often underestimated. When you order a website from us, the cost of preparing a detailed specification is already included in the project.

Design

Design plays a crucial role in website development. What the visitor sees, focus points, UI, UX, emotions - all of this really matters. A user not only enjoys the experience, but is far more likely to order your product or service.

Good design increases conversions - that’s a fact. There are countless studies on this. And our own experience confirms it when we redesigned old websites for our clients.

We design layouts in Figma for multiple devices (desktop, tablet, mobile). We discuss details with the client, explain our decisions, and listen to feedback - because every business has its own nuances.

Layout and Interactivity

For front-end development we use one of the most advanced frameworks today - Tailwind CSS. It’s flexible, lightweight, and allows websites to load very quickly.

We also write clean, optimized scripts that work fast and smoothly. Fun fact: our websites don’t throw JavaScript errors - unlike the majority of sites out there.

CMS (Content Management System)

We use October CMS - a paid CMS powered by Laravel (for our clients, it’s included). It’s fast, actively developed, has a beautiful and user-friendly admin panel, and handles multilingual sites very well.

But most importantly, it allows us to implement virtually any business logic. In our portfolio you’ll find very different projects: from crypto-exchange platforms to complex online stores and corporate websites.

The site structure is designed from scratch, making it incredibly easy for our clients to manage their content - and many of them have been doing so successfully for years.

Conclusions

As you can see, creating a website is a long and complex process that requires attention to many details.

We want our clients to earn money with unique, beautiful, convenient, high-performing websites built by Media1 OÜ - using the right approach. There are very few companies like this in the world, let alone in Estonia.

Building websites is not just our job - it’s our hobby and a part of our life.
