A professional site must also comply with a number of rules, such as being RGPD-compliant and presenting general terms and conditions of sale. <\/p>\n\n<p>In reality, creating a professional website for your business allows you to benefit from several advantages, namely :<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>high visibility;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a showcase for the company\u2019s expertise;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>online sales.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Whatever the service you offer or the product you sell, creating a professional <a href=\"https:\/\/botnation.ai\/en\/chatbot-site-internet\/\">website<\/a> helps you to be <strong>more visible to<\/strong> potential <strong>customers<\/strong>. If someone is looking for a business like yours, or looking for your business, they\u2019ll be able to find you easily. A professional site also allows you to showcase your expertise using a portfolio and images. Last but not least, a professional site helps you sell your products and services online by implementing various online sales and delivery techniques.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_before_creating_a_professional_website\"><\/span>What to do before creating a professional website?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>It\u2019s true that creating a professional website grants you many advantages as an entrepreneur, but it\u2019s important to think about a few things before you start creating the site.<\/p>\n\n<p>Set a budget for <strong>the site\u2019s creation<\/strong> and operation. Also consider the time you have available to put your site online. You\u2019ll need different solutions if you want to put your site online in 1 month or 8 months. Then take stock of the resources you have to create and manage the site. Do you have the skills and knowledge to create the site? Or do you need to call in a specialist? Are you going to manage the site, or are you going to call on a friend, your spouse or an outsider to do it for you?     <\/p>\n\n<p>Before entrusting the creation of your site to a service provider, define your needs, taking into account your point of view as well as that of your customers.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The autonomy of the professional site <\/strong>is a point to which you should attach importance, as it determines the technology the service provider uses to create your site.<\/p>\n\n<p>Visual identity is the part of a company that customers remember, so it needs to be well thought out when creating a professional website.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_create_a_professional_website\"><\/span>How do I create a professional website?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve defined your needs and objectives, you can move on to site creation. You have three options: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>create your own professional website;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>contact an agency ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>contact a freelancer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Even if creating websites isn\u2019t your specialty, you can still do it<strong> using website creation software<\/strong> that you can easily get to grips with.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Calling on a digital agency<\/strong> or communications agency is the solution most frequently used by entrepreneurs who want to create a professional website quickly and efficiently. This <a href=\"https:\/\/botnation.ai\/en\/agency\/\">type of digital agency<\/a> has a great deal of experience in the field, and their teams are trained in a wide range of professions, including : <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>web development ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>graphics ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>project management ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>web marketing, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>If you\u2019re planning to use the services of an agency, you\u2019ll need to budget <strong>around \u20ac5,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Another option is to hire <strong>a freelance web developer <\/strong>. This solution is more flexible and <strong>less costly<\/strong> than the previous one, and allows you to receive your site within a fairly short timeframe. However, a web developer may not be able to write content for the site or work on your corporate identity, in which case you\u2019ll need to call on other, additional skills.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_it_cost_to_create_a_professional_website\"><\/span>How much does it cost to create a professional website?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/botnation.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/website-design-1024x683.jpg.webp\" alt=\"website design\" class=\"wp-image-4912\"><\/figure>\n\n<p>Having a website for your business is the new way to promote your products and services. <strong>Websites<\/strong><strong> are important for your business<\/strong>, as they can be used to make sales worldwide, promote events and get in touch with customers quickly. <strong>But pricing <\/strong><strong>can sometimes hold you back<\/strong>, so get informed.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_judge_the_prices_of_professional_websites\"><\/span>How do you judge the prices of professional websites?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Having a website for your business<\/strong> is the best way to promote your products and services. However, if you\u2019re not careful and don\u2019t know where to look for a good deal, you can easily find yourself in debt with an expensive website that does nothing for your business. To get an idea of the <strong>cost of<\/strong> <strong>building<\/strong><strong> a professional website<\/strong>, we decided to compare the average prices of different services <strong>according to various criteria <\/strong>such as site type, size or source.  <\/p>\n\n<p>When looking for <strong>a professional web designer or web agency<\/strong>, it can be difficult to find accurate pricing information, as every project is unique. You should look at their website first. If they have a portfolio of work and you like what you see, ask them to send you an <strong>estimate based on the details of your project<\/strong>. You can also ask for references from previous customers who have worked with this company.   <\/p>\n\n<p>To get an idea of <strong>the time and effort spent on each project<\/strong> they undertake for their customers. And whether or not they deliver high-quality results, in terms of design, functionality and user experience (UX). So you need to take into account a number of criteria that can <strong>have an impact on the final price<\/strong>, for example:  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the size of your site: the more pages and images, or complex coding, the higher the price;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the complexity of your site: in other words, how many headaches the developer will have to deal with to offer you the exact vision you\u2019re looking for;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>number of languages: if you want to set up an online store in more than two languages, you\u2019ll need to invest more time and effort;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>management of secure online payment services ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>whether or not to add chat and communication services or notifications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rates_for_the_creation_and_maintenance_of_professional_websites_by_major_platforms\"><\/span>Rates for the creation and maintenance of professional websites by major platforms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>If you\u2019re using a <strong>professional website builder and management<\/strong> service, be aware that prices are also charged on a monthly basis.

We\u2019d like to take a look at the current<strong> prices for professional websites<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p>Design usually costs between \u20ac2,000 and \u20ac75,000, and annual maintenance can cost between \u20ac400 and \u20ac60,000. Keep in mind that these are average prices, which means that if your website has additional, more complex options, <strong>the price may rise.<\/strong> A simple 8- to 16-page information site costs between \u20ac2,000 and \u20ac9,000, and annual maintenance costs between \u20ac400 and \u20ac1,200. <strong>A website for a large company<\/strong> with 25 to 75 pages will cost between \u20ac10,000 and \u20ac35,000, with maintenance costing between \u20ac2,000 and \u20ac15,000. <\/p>\n\n<p>Another example is <strong>an e-commerce website,<\/strong> which may have between 100 and 1000 products, will cost between \u20ac5,000 and \u20ac55,000, with a maintenance fee of between \u20ac15,000 and \u20ac30,000 annually. Finally, for a database that archives between 20 and 2000 pages, it will cost between \u20ac6,000 and \u20ac75,000 (up to \u20ac95,000 in some cases), with annual maintenance costing between \u20ac30,000 and \u20ac60,000. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s now essential to have an online presence when you launch a business or open a store.
