Websites receive a rating level of 1, 2, or 3 based on complexity. Which of these sounds like your company?
- Level 1: You are a small business or company with no e-commerce whose site features basic information, such as hours and location.
- Level 2: You have a simple online store or allow visitors to book appointments without a lot of customized features.
- Level 3: You are a larger company with complex or customized e-commerce functionality.
Most websites typically have at least five pages or page templates: homepage, about us page, contact us page, FAQ, and a blog (no matter how many posts your blog has on it). E-commerce sites often come with additional product pages, checkout pages, and more. Here are some average page counts based on site complexity in Step 1:
- Level 1: 5-15 pages
- Level 2: 16-25 pages
- Level 3: 26+ pages
Consider the frequency with which you make in-depth updates to your site code. Small businesses may have an agency that handles occasional fixes, and larger companies typically have an in-house development team that makes weekly updates.
