Website development
What tools do we use?
Oxygen Builder is a framework primarily for developers, which replaces the standard WordPress template system one by one, giving the possibility to create fully customized websites and webshops built from the ground up. Consequently, the resulting site will not be cluttered with a lot of unnecessary code (which usually causes speed, security and compatibility issues) like most ready-to-purchase ecommerce templates or websites put together by site builders for the lay audience.
Furthermore we use only proven, high quality plugins. We have licenses for a number of premium plugins, which we can provide for our customers at a discount or even free of charge.
If it is not worth installing a separate plugin to solve a problem, or if a high quality, sufficient and cost-effective ready-made solution is not available, then we write the necessary codes and we will create customised developments.
How much does a website cost?
Of course, this question cannot be answered with a universal, one-size-fits-all answer, as there can be huge differences between websites, and the cost of creating them can vary widely. Below we outline what costs should be expected for a basic company presentation website.
Hosting and domain
Every professional website needs a high quality hosting and a domain name owned by yourself or your company (with the exception of the various rental website and ecommerce systems, where a ready-made, but very limited customisable infrastructure is available).
Prices vary depending on the provider and the size and quality of the storage, but here is an approximation for an average website (these prices apply just to Hungary):
3GB storage: 10000-15000 HUF/year
5GB storage: 15000-22000 HUF/year
Cheap, low-quality hosting should be avoided, as they often lead to security problems and slow websites.
We can provide high quality storage for our customers.
.hu domain: 1800-3000 Ft/domain/year
.com, .eu, .info, .net: 3000-6000 Ft/domain/year
Software (plug-ins, external services)
WordPress is free to use for both private and business purposes.
From Oxygen Builder full version currently 179 dollárért but as all our projects are built on Oxygen to ensure high quality and cost-efficiency, it is free of charge for our customers.
Sometimes, a good quality plug-in for a desired feature already exists, ready to buy, which can be used to replace part or all of a custom development. In such cases, the most cost-effective solution is usually to buy it. We can provide our customers many premium extensions at a great discount or even free of charge, so we can reduce project costs. In all such cases, we will inform you about the options and the exact costs.
It is also worth anticipating the cost of external services related to the website / webshop. This could include the cost of a newsletter or other marketing system, CRM, billing system, courier plug-ins and website transactions.
