Clear answers to common questions about website design, development, SEO, CMS, integrations and choosing the right approach for your business.
What does professional website development include?
Professional website development can include strategy, information architecture, UX/UI design, responsive development, CMS setup, technical SEO, performance optimisation, analytics, integrations, testing and launch support. The exact scope depends on the goals and complexity of the project.
How much does a professional website cost?
Cost depends on the number of pages, design requirements, CMS structure, integrations and custom functionality. A focused business website requires a different investment from a complex digital platform, so the project is scoped around the features and outcomes the business actually needs.
How long does it take to design and develop a website?
Timelines vary with project size, content readiness and functionality. A straightforward business website can move quickly, while larger CMS-driven or custom projects require more time for strategy, design, development, testing and quality assurance.
Do you handle both web design and development?
Yes. MC Design combines UX/UI and visual design with development, creating a consistent process from structure and interface design through to responsive implementation, CMS, SEO foundations and launch.
Do you build websites in Webflow?
Yes. Webflow is used when it is the right fit for the project, particularly for professional marketing and CMS-driven websites that need strong design control, responsive performance and an editing experience that is easy to manage.
Will my website be SEO-friendly?
SEO is considered during the build, including semantic page structure, headings, metadata, internal linking, crawlability, responsive behaviour and performance. Content strategy and ongoing SEO can then build on that technical foundation.
Can you integrate a CMS, APIs or external tools?
Yes. Projects can include structured CMS content, forms, analytics, marketing tools, third-party services, APIs and custom functionality. The architecture is selected according to what the website needs to do now and how it may need to evolve.
What is the difference between a website and a web application?
A website is usually focused on presenting content, services and marketing journeys. A web application typically includes more complex user interactions, accounts, workflows, data or business logic. When a standard website is not enough, MC Design can define a more suitable custom application approach.
