There are about a dozen criteria by which Internet projects are classified. We took for consideration the most basic of them: the purpose and content of the site. This group includes online stores, landing pages, business card sites, information portals, blogs, corporate websites, directories and catalogues, forums, social networks, online services, etc. The simplest and easiest type of website is considered a business card website or one-page website . It is created with the aim of briefly conveying information about a company or public figure to attract the attention of visitors. Most business card websites consist of 1-3 pages and cost from 6,000 €. And the most complex type of site will be an online service or web portal, which is a site for providing users with interactive services operating within a single resource. This could be search, forum, email, voting and other services. The minimum cost for developing a portal is $15,000.

Landing page or landing page is a website that can be used to encourage visitors to take a specific target action (buy a product, sign up for an online course, call a phone number, etc.). The main feature of such a site is that its content is placed on one page and viewed by scrolling. Therefore, unlike complex multi-page sites, the creation of which sometimes takes more than one month and costs tens of thousands of hryvnia, a simple landing page is developed on average in one week and costs from 12,600 €. If you need a one-page website with a paid licensed administrative panel, add 4,000 € to the minimum price. – and receive 16,000 €. And if, in addition, it is necessary to implement modules on the landing page that ensure the storage of leads in the administrative panel and online payment, the initial amount increases to 21,000 €. The exact price depends on the complexity of the landing page, the level of qualifications of specialists, the rating of the IT company, etc.

If we are talking about a corporate website that was not created on a template and without a large amount of junk code, its minimum price starts from 24,500 €. The cost of this service includes the development of a unique design, layout, adaptation for mobile devices, programming, testing and making edits when launching a web project. A corporate website is a modern representation of a legal entity on the Internet. The presence of such an online platform allows you to qualitatively and fully present yourself online:

• large or medium-sized companies;
• non-profit organizations.

Moreover, a corporate website can be called a useful tool for promoting both young companies and organizations with a certain history, increasing trust in them from the target audience. The peculiarity of a corporate website is that it is able to solve the problems of three parties simultaneously: the company’s employees, its clients and partners. Depending on the type of business and the goals of the company, these tasks may be different, but the main ones include:

• Formation and improvement of the company’s image . By using corporate colors and design elements, as well as posting reliable information about the company, a corporate website strengthens the loyalty of its customers.
• Providing target audience with complete information about activities. A good corporate website, in its sections about the company, management and employees, products/services, and portfolio, provides visitors with answers to all their questions about the company without having to contact its representatives.
• • Expansion of client and partner base. Each element of the corporate website, containing information about the company’s activities and terms of cooperation with it, is aimed at attracting interest from B2C and/or B2B clients.
• Attracting new employees. By publishing information about current vacancies on the company’s website, you can expand the possibilities for searching and recruiting personnel.
• Product advertising. A corporate website can be used as an inexpensive platform for advertising your products or services, informing visitors about current promotions and special offers.

In order to fully fulfill its tasks, the corporate website of a modern organization must have appropriate functionality , which must be thought through and developed at the first stage of project development. The list of special functions of a corporate website usually includes:

• File storage and sharing.
• Maintaining document and trade flow.
• Control of product supply and consumption.
• Individual interaction with each client or partner.

Depending on the company’s goals, for the effective operation of its website, in some cases standard functionality (feedback forms, etc.) is sufficient, in others it is necessary to develop additional modules (for example, an online consultant), which takes more time from the specialists involved. As a result, the more complex the project, the more expensive its total cost. In addition to well-thought-out functionality, a corporate website must meet other modern requirements: contain the required amount of information, be multilingual and adapted for mobile devices, have high loading speed and reliable hosting.

The “showcase” of an offline store, located online and allowing you to make purchases, is an online store . If it is on a template and small (consists of a small number of sections, does not have complex filtering of product items and cumulative discounts, does not involve integration with Nova Poshta, payment systems, 1C, aggregators such as Rozetka and other services), then it can cost you from 25,000 €. While the price of an online store with thousands of product items on Bitrix can start from 80,000 €, and the time frame for creating a large-scale project can be from 80 working days. However, we would like to immediately warn those who have already fallen for the cost of a ready-made online store based on a template. Due to the specifics of the product, the scope of trade and other factors, ordering the development of an online selling platform using a template is very risky. And then you will find out why. The main advantages of ordering a standard project are the low cost of development and speed of implementation. As a rule, to launch such a site, it is enough to adjust the design details and fill the pages with content. However, it is possible that in the process of creating a website using a template, performers may encounter some difficulties:

• in changing the principle of operation of the blocks;
• in SEO optimization;
• changing the structure of web pages and sections of the site;
• in adding blocks, fields, elements.

All this leads to an increase in the cost of a typical web project. Therefore, before choosing a more economical option at first glance, it is worth considering the possibility of developing an exclusive online store, taking into account all the features of the online tool you need to work, or buying a proven solution, when all the nuances are familiar and the problems can be solved.
