Websites & Positioning
What does Websites & Positioning cover?
This topic covers why a growing business needs its own website, how to choose a web design company, and how Devodin's five services fit together. It is written for owners deciding what to build first and who should build it, and it points to the Websites & Ecommerce and Brand Identity services.
Three posts start from one question: what does a business get from owning its website that a social profile or directory listing cannot give it? One answers it directly. One shows how to choose a web design company once you have decided to build. One walks through the five services and where they hand work to each other.
Read do you need a website for your business first if you are still deciding. When you are ready to build, the Websites & Ecommerce service covers scope and timelines, and Brand Identity covers the logo, colour and type system a site is designed around. A home services business needs a fast route to a phone call, while a restaurant needs a current menu and opening hours.
What questions does this topic answer?
- Do I need a website if I already have a social profile and a directory listing?
- What does the first version of a website need, and what can wait?
- Who owns the domain, hosting and files when the project ends?
- What should be in writing before a web design company starts work?
- What does each of the five Devodin services do, and which one should come first?
The posts are short, practical and written for an owner, not a specialist. Each ends with the next step, whether that is another guide, a service page or the FAQ. The topic sits closest to two services: Websites & Ecommerce for the site and Brand Identity for the logo, colour and type system.
If you already know what you need, the services overview lists all five services, and send a brief through the quote form starts a written scope. Devodin is remote first and works with businesses in the US, the UK and Europe, and a reply arrives within one business day.
