Website development for a solid digital presence

We build websites in a "handmade" way, which means that the combination of aesthetics and the way the content is presented is unique, while the code is fresh and exclusively intended only for the needs of each website.

The development of a website is a meticulous process guided by our pursuit of technical and aesthetic excellence. We approach each website as a unique project, placing great emphasis on optimal communication with our customers. This dialogue ensures a full understanding of requirements and objectives, laying the foundation for a successful partnership and a solid digital presence.

As for the technical part of website development, the most tested and modern technologies are used. The website is based on the content management platform Joomla (and in special cases WordPress) with the help of approved tools/extensions. In addition, we have developed our own extensions that aim for optimal performance and usability, deviating from common commercial extensions that focus exclusively on sales.

What is involved in building a website?

Website development is a multifaceted process that includes several stages, from conception to execution.

Frequently asked questions and answers about website building

Για να σας βοηθήσουμε να κατανοήσετε τη διαδικασία και τις δυνατότητες που μπορούμε να σας προσφέρουμε στη δημιουργία ιστοσελίδας, συγκεντρώσαμε τις πιο συχνές ερωτήσεις και τις απαντήσεις τους.

Τι χρειάζεται για να φτιάξω ένα site;

To create a website, you need:

  1. Domain name (e.g. www.toonoma.gr). See the guide for choosing the ideal domain for your website.
  2. Hosting, i.e. a server where your website will be stored
  3. Content (texts, images, videos, etc.)
  4. Website design & development
  5. SEO & optimization for better performance in search engines

How much does it cost to build a website?

The cost depends on many factors, such as the type of website, the required features, and the degree of customization. A basic website can start at a few hundred euros, while a fully custom system or an e-shop with specialized features can cost several thousand euros.

How long does it take to build a website?

The construction time depends on the complexity of the website. A simple website can be ready within 2-4 weeks, while a more complex website in terms of content and functions can take 2-3 months or more.

What content do I need to provide for my website?

Content includes:

  • Text (service description, company history, blog, etc.)
  • Images and videos
  • Logo and graphic elements
  • Contact information and maps
  • Product or service descriptions (for e-shop)
  • Legal texts (terms of use, privacy policy, etc.)

What are the basic elements that a professional website should have?

A professional website should include:

  • Attractive and modern design
  • Responsive design (works well on mobile devices)
  • Fast loading
  • Clear structure and easy navigation
  • SEO optimization for good search engine rankings
  • Contact information and contact forms
  • Security protection (SSL, firewalls, etc.)

Can you also take on the task of creating the content for my website?

Yes, we can undertake the writing of texts, the creation of graphics and the management of the blog for your website as long as the subject of the business is not specialized. An example of a non-specialized subject is the rental of rooms and an example of a specialized subject is aesthetic beauty procedures.

Will I be able to manage the content of my website by myself? Do I need to have technical knowledge?

Yes, your website will include a content management system (CMS), such as Joomla, which allows for easy changes to the content. No special technical knowledge is required, but if needed, we provide training through short videos and live help with phone support or remote management.

Will my website be mobile friendly?

Yes, all the websites we build are fully responsive, so they work flawlessly on mobile phones, tablets and computers.

What is the difference between a custom website and a template-based website?

  • Custom website: It is built from scratch, tailored to your needs, with unique design and functions.
  • Template-based website: A ready-made template is used that is adapted to your needs, but with limitations in configuration and functions and of course with the risk of having a very similar appearance to another website that will use the same template.

Is SEO included in the website construction?

Yes, all websites we build include basic SEO, such as proper URL structure, meta tags, loading speed, and mobile optimization. We also offer advanced SEO services for better search engine rankings.

How will the security of my website be ensured?

Website security includes measures such as the use of SSL certificates, regular software updates, backups, high-quality hosting, and protection against malicious attacks.

What support is provided after the website is completed?

After the website is delivered, we provide:

  • Technical support to resolve any issues.
  • Regular updates and maintenance.
  • Training to manage your website.
